when i sold hershey a 54 chevy 2 door post brased my finger tips, solid body,
near perfect floors COMPLETE with motor, tranny, everythign was there, just
needed to be rebuilt. straight 6's are cheap enough to rebuild, i looked into
it, talked to a friend of mine that builds early iron for a living, and almost
bought it. but something about vw's had me going back. since owning the 77,
then the 69, now the 58 and 66 parts bus, i've learned, there are alot of great
friends i have that share the vw hobby, in the early iron hobby they are all
snobs. granted there are some snobs in the vw community as well, but i just
don't see myself ever getting out of vw's.
i vote keep one of each, sell the rest, and enjoy them. oh and you were
bitching about the t3, a friend says it best, the factory made them a certain
way for a reason, when you go and change that, you create problems. ;)
