[Vwdiesel] Project Bondo Golfy-fuel mileage 1.6L NA Golf??

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Hi Guys,

Still debating whether to continue repairs to my $100 Golf. It needs a LOT
of work.
I have 1 liter of bodyfill into it so far and haven't even started to work
on the (missing/rusted) metal in (what was once) the floor.

Its an 86 1.6L 5 speed NA diesel. 404k kms on it......rebuilt @ 200k kms.

What are you guys getting for "gas mileage"......?

Will it all be worth it?

Needs brakelines, some brake work, probably 2 struts and maybe a balljoint
or two.
Some welding on exhaust.......etc. etc.  I've repaired a bunch of electrical
problems, etc. so far.

I just keep thinking about the 18-20MPG (imperial) I get with my 94
Pathfinder, then open another can of bodyfill,.........sigh.

Discouraged in NB

Mike
