Yes, I've still got you beat. At last count I have 5, all squares: 73 ready to drive at the turn of a key. 71 ready to drive after unpacking it from the garage. 69 that only needs a battery to drive away. 73 that needs a couple days of brake work to make it driveable, but there's also an engine in the works for it, as well as a FI restoration. 73 that's a junker. Plus loads of parts from 3 that I've parted out (71, 71, 72) as well as a couple of lifetimes of junkyard and swap meet scavenging. I'm pretty sure that if VW would tool up and make me a couple of new bodies I could assemble a couple of complete cars with very few parts to purchase. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
