I still here as well. My 91 gli has been off the road for a couple of
years. I am working on a restoration. I have also been collecting
parts (it is a sickness). At this point I have it almost down to the
unibody. I need to remove the engine and it should be ready for the
body shop. It has the dreaded rust around the windshield, which
precipitated the restoration. I have a 16 month old son who has taken
away most of my car time/therapy. I plan this winter to get back into
it and spend many a Saturday working on it. In the mean time I have two
other VWs to keep up maintenance on; my wife's 01 golf 1.8t and my 4.2
V8 Touareg:) I know most of you have panned the Touareg, but it is a
nice vehicle. When VW brings the 3.0 V6 TDi next year and you can get
25-30 mpg instead of 13-17 it will be even better. The sound though of
that V8 when you stomp on it is just great.
Regards,
Jesse

The progress is slow because I've been working on another car. But I never
forget it. I seem to collect parts but little progress on their
installation.
Ive recently acquired the banana lights and the front turn signals in most
recent weeks. So I store them until I get to the exterior portion of this
project.
I have a lead on a leather interior from a guy in the San Francisco Bay
area. Looking into that one for now.
The completed car will drive someday. But as Adam mentioned, it costs me
nothing to keep and with two other functional VWs, I'm not in any hurry to
get this one roadworthy.
I do catalog the wealth of info you people bring up. By doing so, I seem to
have collected my own set of 16V archives just from observing from the
sidelines of this mailing list.
