Fuck those lousy krauts! Actually not really, but be prepared, you'll get it and want to completely re-wire the thing. So you'll tear into and find out the reason your windsheild wipers don't work is cause the rear turn-signal wire shorted out and the wipers draw power from there. Then you pull the harness and find that there are no less the 5 set's of main +12, 13 redundent grounds, and a partridge in a fucking pear tree. So it's time to weed out all the redundancies, but now you gotta figure out which wires stay, and which wires go with the OBD-.001 bass-ackwards electric diagnostic system. After you finally get the car to start under it's own power you'll say, that only took a month, let's re-do the brakes. Then you realize that the rear bleeder's are 5/16 and the fronts are 7mm, so you try to make them the same size, cause you figure it makes sense, and by the time you finally get them both 7mm you realize that you don't really want drum brakes to begin with and are going to swap over to disc. After you've spent a month screwing with the brakes you're coming up on winter and figure you better get the heater working properly, cause in the summer time you plugged the fuckers cause the control cables rusted and snapped about 5 owners ago and it constantly blows hot. Then you realize that you're much more profficient with a heater core then this crazy German heat exchange crap, that and you don't feel like changing the heater filter anyways, so you're gonna make it run a water heater. Now you find yourself a month and a half into winter, ass on the concrete, wrapping brass tubing around the header so you have a way to heat water to pump up front to a heater core you bought at AutoZone for a steal at $15 but when you finally run the pump and hoses you find out it's about 1.5in to big to fit in the dash, so...
like I said, fuck those lousy krauts! Representing the Central Cali chapter of 2GNT! (I think I'm the only member )
