Re: [T3] Philipines VW parts source on The Samba

[Mysterious J <mysteriousj@snet.net>]

I got my login ID and password last night, and went
through the  Type 3 inventory.  The only major part I

Fastback.  I didn't see anything like that in their
current stock, so I guess this is all academic for me.

Thanks,
Jim
