Surely you can manually get another mile on it for an even 400K!

In other news if you have an 85 golf and the rear wiper relay burns out a #53 horn relay works just as well

Welp the pipe over the axle decided to rot out...Made a patch with exhaust tape and a clamp in autozone parking lot but I really need to replace the whole setup as the rot is not looking pretty on the pipes...

Got tired of the old non/ac tentioner so I added a gear from a vw mk2 gas motor tension-er. Soooo much easier to tighten the belt now

Fabbed up a new exhaust downpipe as nobody sells one for a mk2 with the doughnut exhaust flange anymore. Welded in the hyundai resonator I had sitting around so the golf would still be nice and quiet on the highway. Made an 80 mile trip for the first time in 3 months since battling the strut tower rot and repair. The 40 year old car still drives better than the honda fit I own.
