Replaced the valve cover gasket and oil cap. Hopefully that fixed the "melted crayon" smell.

They have my car when they pry my dead cold fingers from the steering wheel.

Brushed half a cup of dirt, sand and plant debris from behind the driver side wheel well liner.
Hope to get to the other side next week.

I had some Corrado grey dot seats that were intended for my 88 Fox, but they really complemented the 93's interior better, so in they went today. The seats weren't perfect, but the rest of the interior leaves a lot to be desired anyway. They are much better than the Audi 4000 non-sport seats they replace.
A look at the driveway. Too many cars; need to think about getting rid of one of them.

Put in my new KMH speedometer from the VW clearance sale!
Now it's only 1&1/2 MPH off....most accurate speedo I've ever had in my car

If you were a Volkswagen....who would your owner be?

Even better....$9.99

Of course it's only the speedo and not the whole cluster

so cheap I bought three a while back. installed one and my speedo is still as bouncy and inaccurate as everat least I know what the problem isn't... hardly narrows it down though. The new ones needed all the electronics from my old one, so it could be electronics at the back of speedo , the speedo cable (which i removed and lubed) or something else...
#2680
The electronics behind the speedo are for the dynamic oil pressure system. I still haven't gotten around to calling VW and seeing if they can swap out the 3 I got. Two were pretty seized up. Snapped my original speedo cable and a new replacement before I realized what was going on.
I really suck at smog.

headed south today to meet up with Colin (dacolino) and pick up a cool set of tarantulas that he had for sale. He offered to meet me midway and I got to see his beautiful '88 wagon in person. Hope my wagons can look half that good when they grow up. We spent some time BS'ing and the drive was just great with the awesome spring weather we had. I'm realizing more and more that this fox forum is home to some real quality people, and I got to meet one more today. Was a pleasure Colin.

I put some new pioneer speakers in the back but yesterday bought 2 new tires and put them on

'New' Dino wheel! (thanks to dacolino)
What a difference from stock! Stiffer and real nice wide grip. Turning and handling feel great.
It needs some leather conditioner but I sort of like the worn look as it matches the brown interiorThe leather otherwise is in great shape - no tears and all the threading is intact.
(edit: wow - the photo makes the leather look worse than it actually is)

Overhauled the diesel fuel injection pump and installed an old Blaupunkt Denver cassette radio.
