1983 Rabbit that needs a cylinder head job? Pretty damn good if you ask
me. Those engines usually require a head job around 80-100K.
As for needing a <i>transaxle</i>, not "rear end" as he stated, on a 1983
Westfalia, hmmmmmm? Sounds like it might have been thrashed over the
years. Too bad about the change to "ford". You can already see what it's
done to his general attitude and demeanor and they're NEW! Just wait a
couple of years. He ought to be a real jewel by then.
(My 1985 Golf has been one of my best buddies. She outlasted a wife and
two girlfriends but I've finally got to part with her, too. I can't
afford to continue putting money into her to keep her going. It adds up
to too much over the years but I still swear by her. Best damn car I ever
owned!! So there!)
