Who Am I

[agoh@sprynet.com]

Greetings Type-III friends,

I guess I will jump in on the introduction bandwagon!  My name is Andrew Goh, 33, single, originally 
from Singapore, now living in Seattle (past 9 years) and working as an International Sales 
Administrator for the company that makes the Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks.

I am a certified mechanic.  I gained the experience when I served National Service in Singapore from 
the age of 18 to 20.  I have not had the experience of dabbling in cars since then.  The recent 
purchase of my daily driver, an outside-red, inside-white, 1971 fuel-injected, auto Fastback has 
gotten my hands greased up and dirty again!  I spotted my beauty when the original Seattle owner 
posted it for sale on the Internet.  Lo and behold, I feel in love with her at first sight!

The odometer stopped at 41K, but I guess that it has a little over 100K+ miles on the original 
everything (engine, fuel injection, interior, body...)  I have not had too much of a chance to do a 
complete overhaul.  At this time, I am mainly restoring the small items first, such as cleaning out 
and restoring the rusted gauges, chrome-painting the wheels, complete brake overhaul, tune-up, etc. 
 I hope to get the body painted to its glorious red in a couple of months.  If all goes well, I hope 
to do a complete engine overhaul within the year.  I am still considering the merits of a 
caburettion or fuel injection and haven't decided yet on which is better for 'Mia Bambino'  I hope a 
don't stir up an emotional debate on the mailing list on which is better....smile...but any advice 
will be much appreciated.

Before I end my intro, Greg, I would like to thank you again for the wonderful opportunity to 
participate in the mailing list.  I am confident that everyone here believes that it has been a 
great deal of help.  So, if you are ever here in Seattle, I'd like to shake your hand, buy you a 
drink, and chat about the finer things in life...such as VWs, of course!

Well, have a good day everyone!

Cheers,
Andrew
