This is my 1984 Mexico, so called Winterwagen. Itīs my daily driver, but I want to keep it in the best condition I can. Itīs from the last batch of cars imported to Germany, Hannover. When new it costed over 10 000 Deutsche Marks, so it was more expensive than a basic Golf (Rabbit).

Now I have a Lemmerz Weltmeister wheels for the car, will install a pointless ignition to improve cold starts and mileage, also want an Eberspaecher independent heater for winter. Last week I installed a Westfalia tow hitch.
