<x-charset iso-8859-1>Jim, I do like the car very much. It seems just basic like a sports car should be. It didn't come with an engine or transmission at all so I'm really up in the air as to what to do with it. The body has hail damage some but there is little or no rust that I could find over the weekend. Do you have any idea's as to how much an engine/transmission would cost? Can I use a type III engine and FI in it? If I could get it just mobile (not necessarily fast) then I'd probably be interested. The body work I can do for little $$$.

There are lots of little VW parts in there, but what you REALLY should do is fix it up so you can drive it. Which engine did you get? The 1.7L and 2.0L 4 cyl engines use the same family of FI as the later type 3s. They're great little cars, as long as the rust hasn't destroyed them. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org </x-charset>
