Congrats dood!!!

Since salt killed a majority of the Mk 1 Sciroccos (they
did NOT hold up well):

Consider either

a) driving the '84 for the winter (I know, not really
feasable), or 
b) undercoat the living SHIT out of the '81, and rinse out
the salt & crap at least weekly.  It *will* live longer
that way.

Need one?  I've got one or two layin' around.

Not difficult - remove the sliders for the heat controls,
and remove the radio.  You'll see a screw to the left of
the radio opening - unscrew this, unplug the wiring harness
and speedo cable, and the whole dash bezel comes out. 
Installation is the reverse of removal.  ;)

> Replace windshield, crack is worse than I thought

Ewww - I still gotta do this on my '80.  :(

Enjoy your new ride!!!!
