Re: [T3] will I get my '67 to the invasion? [ what order to solve issues. ]

Also, make sure you have a list like Byan just post it and ensure you pack 
the necessities so you don't end up like me in the middle of the boonies 
without a clutch pedal, a regulator, or an alternator pulley. I have a 67 
Fasty which I drive daily to and from work, about 15 milea a day total. my 
trip covered from AZ-TX-MS-LA-AL-GA-TN-VA-WA/DC and finally MD. It was a 
hell of a drive during June Hot as heck in TX. The only real issues were the 
before mentioned ones. Make sure if you can get a list of all VW shops, 
wrecking yards alond the way, or at least have :Jim's # :].
I had been driving my Fasty for 3 years before this happened and no 
problems, (Murphy's Law) I guess.

Anyway good luck, and if you take anything make sure is a map of the route 
to the invasion so you don't end up like me lost in Hershey looking for a 
once every two years event.
