Pros:
runs, driven daily… 135k miles, motor strong
quad round headlight setup (a la ’80 Scirocco) puts weak stock
rectangular aero
headlights to shame. Looks vaguely like the expensive euro
setup.
single wiper looks and works great….also adapted from ’80 ‘rocco
16v Fuba antenna looks cool…but does not properly amplify…see cons
section:)
awesome brakes (4 wheel disks in perfect working order)
good close ratio 5 sp tranny….from ’89 Jetta 16v….don’t worry self
destruction
4 relatively new Bridgestone RE900 tires…lots o’ tread
Cons:
Huge "spider web" crack in center of windshield…visibility impaired
only on right
turns :)
light rust ( esp. hatch and doors)
Fuba 16v antenna w/ non functional amp yields shitty radio reception
at least one blown strut
engine mgmt system not at 100%…suspected fuel delivery problem…car
idles
rough….peak power at perhaps 80% of what it should be.
that’s all i can think of at this rediculous hour.
car is located in western Michigan: Whitehall
email, please

bunnies and ‘rocco’s in the closet.
