I can't edit the first post in my Golf thread, and it'll be more likely to be seen here, anyway. All prices USD unless otherwise noted. This will include money spent for any reason besides fuel, oil, filters, etc, even if the part wasn't used. The purpose of this thread is to give an idea of the money one might spend fixing up a similar condition classic VW diesel.
