Was: WTB Headers, Now: Motor Mounts Tech Day v2

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

If you have a spare set of brackets, then it's easy enough to bead blast 
them and powder coat them. That can be done faster than getting the 
passenger side bracket off the car! Or it could be done during a beer break. 
;^) Added plus? The powder coat residue makes the Thanksgiving turkey taste 
quite "unique"!

Be nice to have a lift, but no space. Chuck Blue has one, but he's in Texas. 
Maybe we should all drive down for a tech weekend?

I'd be up for at tech day for your car, but right now my 84 has no engine 
and since I'll be cleaning and painting and powder coating and rebuilding 
it's going to be a while before a tech day can happen at my place.

And in true Scirocco fashion, now that the 84 is down for the count, the 16V 
now has a few special problems that it's letting me know about.
Effing needy Sciroccos! ;^)
