I'll figure it out, i guess there is only one way to really figure it out. I'm motivated, it is my ride home after all haha

Well, i was gonna start today but we got a snow storm moving in. So i spent a few more hours gathering some more wiring diagrams, and picking up an 8mm 12 point for the axles, and some 3/8 drive entensions to get to the exh manifold. I also made a tool for my axle flanges. I'll post pics of it later.. So hopefull tomorrow the 2.0 will be in the rabbit at the least, and this weekend I'm hoping it'll be running, chances are it will. I've got it pretty figured out. Oh yes.. plenty of fun, and beer! =] TJ

Well, looks like it's gonna snow.. and snow again tomorrow. Not sure if i'll get the engine in, i might decide to stop being a vag and face the cold tomorrow and just get the damn thing done. I'll let you all know..

Well, today is really nice about 65* outside so i'll probably get a lot done. I have to seeing as the cabriolet got a nice yellow sticker that says intent to impound abandoned vehicle.. I'll take some pics later
