Well, my point was that If I were looking for a kit for a 356 Porche and bought one that was advertised as one and it wasn't when I got it Id be rather peeved. Of course if I were looking for that kind of thing Id have done the research and know exactly what it was I was looking for and not have been a problem. I guess this kind of thing is common on Ebay, the only Ebaying I do is for buying Antique radios and Ive never seen the description throw in names or things that didn't pertain to the item being sold, or I didn't notice them in my quick skimming each week. Ill have a beer now how's that? Keith Subject: Re: [T3] A rare one is up Hey if I choose to advertise to a Porsche 356 guy or an EMPI collector about my T3 tool box and Keith doesn't understand why that's fine. Or anyone else for that matter. I just made it a bit easier for that kind of collector to find my odd type of item. Lighten up, have a shot of tequila or something. As it is I have had 3 questions from PORSCHE guys wanting to know condition, completeness and such before they decide on bidding. So I guess my false web of trickery has paid off. I cant wait to catch some of those EMPI guys in my web as well!!!!!! Scott thats a great spread below on what comes in the box. Im goint to check out that site a little more now. jason ----- Original Message ----- > The Finnish site gutefahrt.com has a page about spare tire tool kits that > lists the contents of the Type 3 kit: > >> The type 3 tool boxes >> >> In 1965 or 1966 Hazet developed a special toolbox for the VW type 3 >> series (VW 1500 limousine, the VW-Variant and the Karmann Ghia 1500).
