This thing still work?

Been off for a couple of years now.  Just wondering if the list was still 
alive.

Me - 84 8v scirocco
I've owned it since 1998 or so.
G-grind, bilstein, h&r, velocity lsd, Euro headlights & bumpers, tie bars, 
15" pirelli P700s, Coraddo seats, and more stereo equipment than you can 
shake a stick at.

I cranked up the scirocco for the first time in almost 2 years last night.  
I had recently rebuilt the cylinder head, replaced every coolant hose & fuel 
line, installed the cam, and it started dying as soon as the engine got 
warm.  Rather than spend any more time working on a car that I had spent the 
previous 2 years essentially overhauling inch by inch, I mothballed it and 
bought a Chevy Cavalier.  There is definitely something to be said for a 
cheap car that starts every time you turn the key, and chances are good that 
it will get you from point A to point B without developing some weird 
electrical gremlin.

So - now I'm in the process of renovating a house.  It's giving me a 
revitalized appreciation of fixing up old stuff instead of using new stuff 
that works yet has no personality.  With all the car shows on nowadays, I 
figured it was time to resurrect the scirocco.  I have given up on 
Overhaulin coming to my house to kidnap my car.

So - I'm here, or back, or whatever...
