Ouch, I could tell it was going to be nasty by seeing the valves and your description of the oil/water removal. Yeah its alot of work, but you could kinda see that when you first brought it home. Pretty rotten but doable if you have the will and time. The Brits are known for taking on such rotten messes where the bottom 8" of a car are gone. I have no clue why they even bother, or anyone for that matter, BUT my hat is definatly off to those who do! Pure patience and skill, and lots of beer and blood.;) I have noticed this add on the Samba. Its been refreshed at a better deal. You might want to have a look before investing more time into what you have and possibly collect some better examples to make a solid car. The price seems right for the amout of stuff you get. Keep your chin up David, saving any of these is good for us all. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=74857 jason > Hi All > > Well, once again things have gone astray with this project.
