> I just wanted to give a hearty thanks to John Larson for being a great wrench, an honestfellow, and an all-around swell guy!  I purchased his 1984 4kq from him this past weekend,flying from Atlanta to LA on his word that it was road-worthy of the cross-country journey.  Ishipped him my coil-overs, shocks & suspension rebuild pieces and he installed them for me.Not only was the car road-worthy, but it was a total blast to drive the 2300 miles.  A littlestiff, my fault for selecting 500# springs in the front, 450# in the rear, but the work(coil-over installation is not for the faint of heart-- can you say cutting & welding?) wasdone to perfection.  It's now parked out behind my office (well, cube) window and I take anadmiring peek over my shoulder every few minutes.John, thanks to you and your wife for being able to meet me in Santa Barbara!  Good luckselling the 16v Scirocco.Check out my trip details, not yet finished, but there, at:http://www.sunsunsun.net/4kqChris
