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

[Matt]

Let's see some pictures of the damage.  It'd be interesting to see how 
bad it is and if it's worth repairing.

If you end up making a good daily driver out of it, it'll get 40-50mpg. 
  That would definitely take some of the pain out of the repair work.

Good luck!
