Out for the summer months.

Well it's been ages since I posted about this great little car. Truth is, it's been so reliable over the last 2 summers that there really hasn't been much to write about. Got the insurance back on last week, pulled the cover off it and took it for a quick drive. I also dropped it off at Bero Motors for an oil change and a quick look over. Ended up needing to replace the CV boots and the leaky valve cover gasket...those damn VW cork gaskets never seem to seal all that well!
A couple of small projects are planned: I need to replace the sway bar bushings as they are pretty much gone so I'll just plan to spend some time under the car and update all the bushing to polyurethane. Should probably get some new strut bearings too....hmmm, time to get a spring compressor.
