Long story short: I don't have enough time between school and work for the ghia, so I sold it, doubled my money, and bought a friends 1985 5 speed Jetta.
Pretty clean, solid 3 owner car. Paint is faded, interior is faded, and door panels are not in the best shape in the back, but I got an extra front seats, rear seat, and door panels with the car. Also got a ton of extra brake parts to switch the rear from Disk, back to Drum. It runs and drives good, but no power steering kinda sucks. The O2 sensor had the wire cut and I cant find out where It goes, and the Cold start needs tinkering with. Nonetheless I'm pretty exited, and hey, I can actually drive it.
