This is certainly not what I expected down here.

Getting ready to pack up my tools, and drive many hours to look at a 74 2.0

Need to head to the bank and get a certified check and pocket of cash in case. I am sort of dismayed my blue car is taking so long and I sold a few things. I am also selling my RHD syncro Golf.


Fingers crossed this pans out. I really want something clean and nice to drive around this year on nice days to work and etc.

My 75 is Pandora's box. I am not giving up but I realize it is going to take a while to get what i want out of it.

One of the best colors! At least you know what to look for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Oh boy do I! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

I have made decent progress on the 75 I just suck at updating threads. I have been working a lot, getting rid of stuff and busy with life.

I am excited. But I fear the worst. The rockers have never been off as far as the owner knows. He has had it since 1997, and the previous owners kept it inside. It has been in a heated/cooled garage since 97. 105k on the car. That is a lot of time for dirt and moisture to take a toll. The battery is coming out, carpet is coming up, backpad is probably coming off. A magnet is coming for the journey to go over the body.

I may see if I can get the vinyl trim off.

I'm sure it will need suspension bushings, tie rods since the rubber is shot and the probably original grease is dried. It had shocks put on it in the early 2000's. I'm looking to avoid bodywork on something.
