I had problems with the one Aaron mailed.  The one you (Theo) mailed came
across mostly alright, but it seemed to have some weird formatting
information in it which makes it difficult to read.  All throught the thing,
there are equal symbols followed by a 91, 92, 93, or 94 before and after many
of the words, and there were also many extra carriage returns.

Below is an example of how it came to me:

Cleverly touched up pictures, or were these real? Number 54 can at least
answer some of these questions, although new ones arise and much is left
uncertain.
Not much is left from the once =91golfblau=92 sedan. The remaining part of
the left rocker panel hangs from the wiring loom, and the pan has for the
biggest part rusted away. The engine is missing. That=92s a great pity, as

carburettors and ignition were optimised over and over again.
The seats of number 54 were changed for later models from a 1500S.
Fortunately the door panels remained in place. And they are unusual
enough. The door pockets are indeed designed as flaps with elastic band.
On both sides they are very dirty and moulded, but in place. Also at the
