[T3] sometimes you just have to scratch your head

[Brian <vwfye@frontiernet.net>]

<x-flowed>well,
i am home now for the evening and ramble some more...
toby is correct, my frustration isn't with "thinking out side the box", 
it is with being outside the box without your brain!  the previous owner 
of my car did not have GEX put in heater flaps and often drove the car 
in cold weather for 2 miles at a time.  this caused major 'goo' build up 
in everything... filler tube, breather box, hoses, and i am sure when i 
pull the valve covers tomorrow i will find more goo.  the 73 square 
was/is IRS, but as toby mentioned, the PO replaced the standard engine 
bracing with shoddy materials, and yet he seemed to try and really think 
out a way to apply  the changes.  however, when you no have to remove 
the fan housing in the car to pull the motor, the axles are pointed 
slightly forward and you don't use a rear hanger that can actually hold 
the motor... well i am sure you have a better mental picture.  the good 
thing about the car is it is SOLID, but it is still a long way from 
roadworthiness or trustworthiness...  btw, why would you replace the 
front apron with a NEW unit and then proceed to cut a big hole in it? 
gots me one of those too... hmmmmmm
