Thanks. The car has some issues, like it needs body work and the vacuum lines are missed up. So far, am really satisfied with what i got compared to what i paid for.

My brother was looking to buy that mk3, but he missed out. Your car came with some nice stuff.. Where do you live? And what kind of issues does it have?

I live in new tampa. As i said, it needs a little body work. The bumper is hanging from the passenger side, so i tied it with a string. The paint is not the best. Also, it has a vacuum leak. When the car is idle, its at 15psi. I could see a bunch of lines that are not connected. It needs new spark plugs and a valve cover gasket.

Well if you ever need some help, theres plenty of guys who can work on them around here. I'm not the best with these cars, but I've learned a ton this past year. I can lend a hand sometime if you need. Me and Flubyux2 just got done rebuilding my motor, IdealSupra lended a hand at times,Psifactor had parts I needed available, and Cassio helped me pull the motor for free(Thanks Ian, I owe ya bigtime)..My cars running pretty strong now, just a bunch of minor annoying stuff to handle..
