[Vwdiesel] Anniversaries

[Bryan Belman]

To bad VW does not have mile stone badges.I once heard the Mercedes does this or used to do it with European cars.Not sure it they ever did it here in states.

I expect that next week, my 00 Jetta will make 400,000 miles.

I'm doing a little work on it as an anniversary gift (and so I don't get
stranded somewhere.)  Glow plug harness, p/s pump, valve cover, etc.  One
thing I've thought about is a little paint.  Due to a couple incidents, the
front of the car, particularly the hood, has been painted twice and is now
clear coat free.  I don't know whether it's low quality paint,
incompatibility with previous paint, or just the fact that factory paint is
simply better (the trunk lid is fine with original paint).

Could I just sand a little and paint/clear coat or do I have to go to bare
metal to get a decent job?

Never worried what cars looked like before, just did barely enough to get
me where I was going.
