yer she is a south african private import

so the story goes back in 87 my dad bought this car from a south african who had just imported it only 2 years old, it was our family car and the first car beside a mk1 deisel that i drove, in about 95ish he sold it to one of the mechanics at wolfsburg motors , the mechanics my dad has supported for like ever, and bought a mk3. some 6 odd years later my mk1 blew up and i was in the market and the same car was back up for sale, so i did the rite thing and bought it back to the family. ever since then i have been working on it , propably 5 odd years.
