KC, thank you for your very thorough and passionate TLC! Beautiful pictures too. She looks like she just came off the shelf once again. 
We still have to have our catch up over a proper and good makan soon.

Nice job and it's a diesel! My mom's Golf diesel was giving her 48mpg HWY back in 1990. Great car.
