Wait...you have been in-between Sciroccos for a while, yes?
If not, then just congrats.
If so, then my "welcome" still stands......or welcome back.

>>Yeah, that's right.  GTI-boy bought another...
>>
>>'88 16V & White.  Before anyone gets too excited, this one has
>>been put through the ringer more than once.
>>
>>The bad;
>>Left Rear Quarter has been knocked-in, and amateurly knocked back
>>out.  Because of this, it will not be a long-term driver.
>>It has has a few other minor wrinkles here and there, all on the
>>drivers' side.
>>No drivers glass
>>No drivers do latch
>>
>>The car is well worn as mentioned; tape on headliner to repair
>>tear, L/F was flat, Disney exhaust work. vacuum lines missing all over.
>>
>>The good; I think it will run with a replacement of the battery
>>and the ground strap.  He said it ran and drove, but all the
>>replays began clicking more and more then it just died.  Well, the
>>ground connection at the battery is well hammered, and even though
>>fully-tight, it would not pinch the terminal any more.  We shall
>>see if my gamble paid off here in a bit...
>>
>>If it does run and drive at least reasonably, I will begin to
>>install the motor and tranny I have nearly ready for the GTI.  My
>>diff. is self-machining, and the motor is more than ready for 
>retirement...
>>
>>I thought you all might be happy to hear my prattling...  :-)
