New engine, new belts, new hoses, new alternator, new starter, distributor
cap, rotor, plugs and wires, new injection plumbing.

Tape, electrical and duct.  I have the new master and slave cylinders, think
they should go?

Throttle cable, spare oil filters have to be ordered.

Thanks, oh, yeah the VW prayer book [a credit card]

Mike
