[T3] Hi Again, Youngest?

["Carver" <carver@ncwebsurfer.com>]

Hi again.  Been on and off this list a few times in the past
few years.  Busses all gone, only have the '67 Sqbk and a 
non-VW coachbuilt '64 crewcab to work on.  We've decided to
have the truck worked on by someone else, while my son and I
start to work together on the Squareback.  He'll be 13 in August.
Anyone younger than that?  I'm 44 with the hair of a 22 year old.

We figure that by the time he's legal to drive, it'll be ready!

I'm the second owner and it was my second car.  Purchased in '78
with popping heads.  Driven a lot and basically with the addition
of kids and some engine overheating problems, the Sqbk was left
to merge with the weeds about 9 years ago.  Learned to mechanic
on this car.

We'll be attending the Kelly Park to scope out vendors, swap stuff,
and maybe even driving a vintage bus to the event.

As for the Squareback.  Stay back ye demons of the dark side, tis
our wish to stay pure.  Other than the use of highback seats from
a later model and shoulder belts, it's stock, but worn.  Almost
everything is there, worn, but there.  A little rust here and 
there, a small hole in the battery tray, but fixable.

I'm on the prowl for replacement rubber for use with the chrome
trim on the windows.  What cannot be bought new and must be 
found used or NOS?  What other bits and pieces will be tough to 
find replacements for and I must hunt down?  Any of the fender
or other color matched seals available in dark blue?

I may have drifted off the T3 path, and although SWMBO pushed me
to get rid of the busses, she knows better than to attempt to 
do that with the Squareback!

I plan to replace all the brake components, suggested sources?
I may need a left rotor, any out there?
Recommendations on seat cover vendors?  Headliner vendor?

Anyway, I can see that this list is a chatty as ever, with a 
zillion messages a day.  Been lurking for a week, finally got
caught up tonight.
