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
