But for the price, I figured certain parts alone were worth it. Yet it deserves some investigating. I've "parked" a few cars in my day, one of them is still parked. A 70 mustang, been parked a year or so longer than this new square, and coincidentally enough, needs the same amount of work plus a little more body repair. This square came with a title from 81, that was the last application date, and tabs from 92, I figure there was probably something simple yet not obvious wrong with it and since it is FI, it just sat there waiting. Who knows? I guess we'll be finding out. I gave the mustang to my son a while back and have been waiting for him to take the initiative and show some interest, though I have pushed it a little from time to time. But he got real excited about the square after our road trip to pick it up, so I traded him. I am hoping it will be "the project" that we both learn a lot from, and it would be cool to take two T3s to the invasion, him with a drivers permit. m. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
