[T3] Dave and Matt's notch update - silly

[David Sanderson <Porschedave@rennlist.net>]

<x-flowed>Hi All

Well, we have made only a very little progress since we last shared 
comments with you. Matt was focused on successfully completing grade 
11, which he did, while Dave mucked about with the other rear-engined 
car for some days at PIR. Things have been moving along, nonetheless. 
Our new friend and type 3 enthusiast Steve has cut up a squareback so 
we are looking forward to getting some sills from him. That will be 
really cool. And we did manage to get all the bolts undone and the 
body can now be separated from the pan. We have welded a "cage" 
inside the shell so that it won't collapse when we pick it off the 
frame, which we will do this week. Also, we managed to buy a running 
type 4 engine with an aluminum case ($60) so we might look down the 
road at using it. After all, we have disk brakes so we might as well 
add horsepower... I mentioned in an earlier e-mail that while we were 
originally going to do a bone stock restoration it seems that like 
writing a novel the character takes its own head. We'll see where 
this goes. I've added a couple of pics to our on-going saga and a 
movie of the Notch on its way between garages.
