Dry rot?  Ok, the headlights doesn't make sense, but....

Wrong again, partially.  :p

The '83 Wolfie introduced the 1.8 JH 90 HP engine.  It also
introduced the close-ratio gearbox (I believe it was the 2H
that year.)

I did see a totally original, totally mint '83 Wolfie in
Michigan at a car show in '97.  Talked to the original
owner, said it was his garage baby - it had 13k miles on it
at the time.  He mentioned he'd possibly get rid of it if
VW ever produced a convertible New Beetle.
