I'm still on here, too.  Car (89 GTi 16v) awaits new clutch and time to do
the work.  Have made arrangements with a friend to buy my '87 GTi 16V; we've
got a 2-liter 16v from a Passat waiting to be installed.  I've also got an
'83 or '84 8v GTi waiting for me to get time to install an identical
replacement engine.  This was a California car, is sound & solid, though
with faded upholstery & etc.  Engine makes horrible noise (doesn't fire up);
I'll do a tear-down when it's out.  Bought it with mechanical problems
already present (so did previous owner, but he never had knowledge to do an
engine swap, nor access to one to use, nor tools.  I do.).
