      Thanks guys! The battery is a Braille B129, they go for about $180.00 but you can get a battery that is the same glass mat construction and may be manufactured by the same people, the name of the generic battery is Deka etx14. If I had known about that before I purchased my battery I would have bought the Deka. They can be found for around $80.00.

        HEY! The Deka's made in the US too! I found one on Amazon for $71 with free shipping!

              ^ Yep, home grown! But you can buy battery trays/boxes that are designed for custom motorcycles and side by side ATV's (the Polaris RZR uses an almost identical battery). I should do a "how to ..." thread on this. Maybe this week. Stay tuned! Lol.

                Thanks! It was an 89, I wonder if I can order just the front bumper from that website. I'm going to try. It seems that there are all sorts or valences that are also available, probably only in other countries though. Check this Charade out, it's got a nice valence and don't the wheels look familiar?


                And this is a nice valence too! Since i didn't have to modify the charade bumper at all to fit, these would fit my car too, if I can find one. Some of you are much better at searching the web than I am, so keep an eye out for me.

                  Hey! Thanks man! This is a perfect battery to be in front as I don't want to to re-route my battery to the back. And the price is awesome compared to the drycell oddysey.

                            Those are from a 16V Scirocco. 1986-1990 (or 92 in other countries). There was one at PAP last time I went, I'll try to get them for you if I go this weekend. Arty has a picture of the car like what they came off in his signature.
