    One forgets how much work goes into these cars until one sees before/after pics. Great thread!

    From my collection of pics, the gearbox for the white GTI during mechanical restoration, my favorite part:

    Before:

    After:

    And just about to go in the car:

    I did the rest of the car the same way, but this was the first time I did more than clean and paint a gearbox, so I was really happy it worked!

    Its the HotVW's sticker that does it for me.
    I think 1993 was the year I got my subscription.
    Wow, I had no idea that car has been in your family THAT long.
