my new rocco and parts needed

["Dave Novak" <toastworks@hotmail.com>]

Hey list!

I've bought a Scirocco finally! It's a white '84 (10-83 = '84, right?)

I still haven't heard a peep out of Julie as to how my old '81 is doing..

It's got 185k and was hit in rear right quarter, but is very driaveble. 
Whatever.. it isn't pretty, but it works for me.

>From what I've gathered, this car has the 1.8l, dual wipers, and full-size 
spare. Typical '83, early '84 model, right?

Question #1 (ahh feels so good to ask questions on this list again!):
It's white. Does this mean Alpine white? If so, what's my best bet for paint 
matching? Like would I go for Toyota white, or Ford white or whatever?

#2: It needs an alignment badly. Should I attempt this myself? I've done 
front end work, but I'm not sure I have the tools to accomplishment. Right 
now the steering wheel is about 2 o'clock from where it should be, and it 
tracks slightly left if you let go of the wheel while driving. Should I just 
drop the $40-50 and have it done at the local garage?

#3: Anyone got a Bentley they wanna sell me? Pleeeeease?

I also need a set of front seat belts (PO mysteriously cut them..?) and the 
fan switch for heater controls (car has AC).

All in all, it's great to own a Scirocco once again. Especially compared to 
pouring my life savings into the gas tank of an Isuzu Trooper. Damn gas 
guzzling V6.

Hey! Anyone wanna buy a gas guzzling Isuzu Trooper?

It's a great truck, but I can't afford the car payments I'm making. Which is 
exactly why I bought this here Scirocco. Lovely, ain't it?

If I were to go to the local yard, would A2 seatbelts work (providing 
they're not height-adjustable)?
