project continues..

My car is up with Potter's buddy getting a workover.  He has taken most of
the interior apart and is "de-rattling" it.  He has previously done this
to his own '79 Rabbit, and the results are phenomenal.  I am also
getting my climate controls fixed - I have hot air leaking through the 
center vents, and most of the other functions of the c/c are fubar too..
.. no defrost, etc.  Most likely it needs a new control panel and some 
work down in the heater core areal.  Perfect time to get it done, thing is all 
apart and this car IS a keeper, so I want it to be totally functional.  Also
on 
the agenda is a shift linkage adjustment, switch to Redline MTL into the
gearbox,
new center vent for the dash, new lower speedo cable, and some electrical
tinkering.  The shop is Strategic Automotive in Northridge.  If you're in the
LA/
Valley area, I recommend him highly.. he's a VW nut and he runs a 1-man shop..

Anyways, next I'd like to finish the interior.  If anybody has a black
leather interior in good-excellent shape for sale, please email me privately.
At some point in the next few months, I'm gonna spring for a FULL-ON proper
paint job ($3-$4K) and finish putting the car into PRIMO condition.  It's 
a very clean (and fast!) car right now but when I'm done with it it will be
better than new!
