    Yes this is it exactly.  I have learned that any of my projects,
car or home never go as planned.  Now that I'm riding my bike to work
again, this lowers the risk.  When I decided to lower the front end,
the car was in my brother-in-laws garage for nearly three months!  I
had seized parts to deal with, but also discovered a brake job was in
order, etc.

    I should have said I will be installing a "rebuilt" tranny.  Never
having dropped the motor on Phillip, I can make a looong list of
things to do while in there.  Thanks for all the advice everyone,
vwtype3.org rules!
