Firey Rocco Part 2: The search for Jett-A

    The support from the list has been great.  Thanks to everyone.  As soon as I get a response from the owner I'll let you guys know when and where he is to take a look.  My biggest concern I guess is belly rust.  The door and the trunk I can handle and the lower part of the windshield I can fix if it's not in a bad spot for it.  As for Brians offer for one of his 16V's, I'm really in the market for one of the last 2 years of the Mk2 Fat bumper GLI, BUT.... I have brought over more then one to the Dub side and one guy has asked me to keep an eye open for a Scirocco that's close.  If your 16V's are 'Rocco's then I know we could make a quick road trip to Texas to buy one.  Let me know what you've got and I'll tell him that we're driving down once I get back.  I hate to say you're all right and have to hear you all say you told me so later, but I haven't seen one worth getting into in the southwest yet since the Calypso green one in Oklahoma City for 4 grand a month ago.  This one in WI looks and sounds to be in good shape and the price is right.  Any northern winter problems I'm just going to have to keep on top of later.  Thanks for everyones help and advice and if anyone knows of a 90-92 2.0 GLi in the south that's in good shape bodywise and motor wise then let me know soon.  I'm trying to sort out money and head up by next wed.

       Hey all.... got some bad news and some good news.  Bad first.  I live in the dessert.  Er, well that's bad, but not serious, the rain here when it rains is annoying.  DPO did a 91 Digi2 swap and botched together the two wiring harnessess... harnii?  Anyway, he's an idiot, water shorted something out, melted some of the fuse board and fuel pump won't run.  You'd think that on a rainy day things would be less likely to catch fire.  I'm not even going to mess with this mess... which brings us to the good news.  What, you ask?  I finally have the leverage I need to get the wife to let me buy myself a second car.  "Who has a back up car?  That's ridiculous" she says.  HA!  I win.  I have a feeling I'll lose a major battle later, but for now I win.  I'm looking at one of the MK2 GLi's on Vortex, actually all of them but I'm focusing on the one in Wisconsin.  I'm wondering if someone is in that area who may be able to look at it on my behalf if I clear it with the owner.  I need to make sure whatever I buy will make it to New Mexico with a short side trip to Canada to visit my wife, and no I won't rub it in.....  much.  Why she doesn't live with me in NM is a tear jerker concerning customs and borders and government agents of evil and alot of crying, not me, her, I don't cry.  Don't worry I'm not out of the Rocco fold and I don't have a terminally dead Rat Racer.  Actually this is the motivation I needed now that I have a house to do the Swap that I intended.  I have a 88 GTI parts car that runs but was T-boned so I'm good.  I'll be contacting swap masters later.  Love some help with the attempt at getting a new ride.  Thanks.
