[Vwdiesel] Share Our Cars!

[Matt_Lisa]

My Rabbit is currently in a holding pattern.  The engine is running very well, though I think it needs new injectors.  I've got a 5-speed trans waiting to be swapped in, and the body/interior needs lots of TLC.  It can wait as long as is necessary, though, since I have a 2001 Golf TDI as my daily driver.

Here's a pic:

There are a lot of photos on my site if you want to see more.  It's sort of a work in progress diary page for the car.
