Project Update :)

[adrian.culda at sympatico.ca (Adrian)]

Just got back from the shop, had to pick up a few things(weld-els for
the turbo manifold, Sch.40 piping, new timing belt) still looking for
someone here in town that has the belt tensioner in stock, so that's it.
BTW I have a 16V Starter on the rabbit... I'm gonna pull that and slap
the 8V one on the rabbit. 

BTW do you guys know if the stock 16V brakes will clear 14" wheels ??
Cuz I don't want to slap on the G60 setup cuz I don't have enough $$$
right now to get myself a set of wheels and tires. I will wait for the
summer then I'll get the wheels.

Funny that ETKA lists the same starter motor for JH and PL.
