Hi Dave,
       Mated the motor, and trans. last night, finally. Looks great.
Only problem I have is, I'm using and 1986 Syncro trans. witch requires
the one year only special short starter, and its bad. I'll be ripping
in to the starter soon.
       Gas here is $1.36/gal. I'm also diligently looking for a used
Golf, as my friends just reported 36.5 MPG! Our new (1990) Jetta has to
many goodies like auto, air, power everything, to get  that kind of
milage,  but I expect atleast 27 MPG's out of it.
