I am wondering if any of those plugs will fit the MK2 gauge cluster. Then it could be wired to the MK1 version and be that much nicer of an upgrade mod.Any idea?

Local mechanic retiring, guy threw out very little. He was a VW mech in Europe but didn't like it here so he puts a full hoist in his garage and does cash jobs through word mouth for 2 decades, accumulates spares. I got a few stacks of belts from him, some early body parts, couple of pumps.. he worked on diesels primarily.He drives Toyotas now.Fatmobile if you see anything in the photos you want lmk.

How does one even accumulate that kind of a collection? Did you used to visit the junk yard on a regular basis?Not sure if I even need any of those, yet. Seems like as soon as I pass on stuff like this I need it. At least I know where I can get it.

Damn, that might be larger than my collection. Nice to find the windshield wiper relays with the adjustable delay, and stick them in the old rabbits.They all have 53S near the center post. I see some plugs too. Is there a MK4 MAP sensor plug. Not sure what one looks like right now.I want to put a VNT-15 on my AHU rabbit project and need to repin to the plug to the later MAP sensor. The MK2 light switch is a keeper. They seem to go bad often.

If you see anything you want..pay shipping and beer.

If the gear catches on the edge, it can come off and fall in the tranny.Murphy's law says..... It falls in. So go slow and put a bright light on the work area. There is nothing worse than not being able to see the problem and then doing what you didn't care to do.

That does sound good.Belt is riding down the center of the sprocket. On the speedometer removal: There is a metal lip, kind of a bucket, that slides into the trany you might have to get a little screwdriver under it, between it and the trany, from the firewall side. And be real careful pulling it out. If the gear catches on the edge, it can come off and fall in the trany.

I do hope the transmission might be a later one but we will fond out soon enough. I managed to get the clutch unstuck and rock the car in gear from where she sits...so far so good. What I couldnt do though is pull the speedo cable out of the housing to check fluid level...its a different style than I've seen with a rubber grommet in the housing instead of a gasket.Here's a short video of the first start after quite a bit of cranking.https://youtube.com/shorts/s_13NRlyCNI?si=bSbzHLJsMCiAQW2_On a down note, the front driver's pinch seam folded in a good bit when I was jacking it. Not particularly fantastic.Otherwise I think she will drive fine...even the alternator cleaned up.
