in addition to this group and thesamba.com you should invest in a repair
manual....bently and haynes are the best(most say in that order, although i
prefer the layout of the haynes) and you should get one..... sometimes
pictures do wonders.... the clutch cable and accellerator cable are a breeze
and doing them at the same time is nice.... window regulator not bad, but
could make you spew cusswords....good luck on your project so far and feel
free to ask any questions you need.....most here are very knowledgeable most
even have digital cameras, which as i said, pictures do wonders...
