The story

Yellow with black vinyl interior.

15x7 inch steel rims, 195-50x15 tires

Second owner. Purchased from original owner who gave me a test to see if I deserved to own it.

Replaced the suspension with parts - springs and stabilizer bars - from a 1984 GTI.

Converted from (wimpy) OEM 1.5 liter, 4-speed to a low mileage 2 liter Audio 90 bubble block and close-ratio 5-speed transmission in spring of 2004. Now runs like a bat out of hell! · Clark Mikkelsen
