RE: [T3] Staying away from converting to carbs...


Well, at least with all the mods the car will be functional, fun to drive
and
dollar expenditures will be decreased.  Having a little bit of experience
with
my Porsche, restoring one is NOT inexpensive!!!  I say go for the
after-market
FI set up because, after putting the *down payment* on that restorable
sports
car, you *still* have to finish paying it off, insurance will be higher, and
parts ain't as cheap as they are for a VW.  Believe me, that seven letter
name
is expensive :)
