Thanks Guys!

I've recently done some engine work to the Jetta( been driving the Pathfinder while recovering from overload of this summer and pouting about the continuation of the fuel leaks of the big trip). I installed the old injector pump, with some new seals, and have the injectors facilitated by Metromizer( many thanks again!!!), and a new heater core, just in time for winter driving. Hopefully some good numbers before the snow gets too bad.

The tail has, again, developed a couple cracks, but not nearly as bad as previously. I'll weather the winter as is and plan to do the final glassing next summer with finishing the rear interior as a possible.

Taking a 650ish mile trip for the holidays and going to try to do it on one tank of fuel. SHOULD be easily done with the current fixes in place, but we'll see.
