It's a laundry list to be sure, but I think you just need a little 
support.(You know; friends who stand around drinking beer while you 
get dirty.) And thats what we are here for.

otoh, a more gearheaded person would be likely to thank you for 
selling him (or her) this car cheap- then you need to get another one.

When I had my 1st Roc I knew nothing. When I look at your list of 
things needs doing I say- "So? Lets get to work!" But I also 
understand the reality of not being able to do it in a timely, 
economical manner.

Q) Have you checked the Craig's List and VWVortex want ads?
