:shock: Thats a 2 door coupe on the left!!!!!!!!!!!!!....its the same color as mine...and same year......AAAAAAAh....gotta check my lotto tickets.....see if I woke up rich this morning.

But....I came to a philosophy a few years back. I used to collect everything I could. I'm just like you guys. But if you keep buuying everything...and finishing nothing....and eventually having to get rid of things for ...all of the obvious reasons, then in the end, you have lots of parts and there are no more or less type 4's on the road. In many of these cases....not all.....Its worth it to show up with a pick-up, give the man $200 and strip evrything you can carry....anddon't look back. But....photograph everything, including chassis #'s. At the very least....we will have history. I still collect parts wheneveer I can find or afford them, but all of my $ now goes into making one superb vehicle. When it gets to the paint stage.....I will start looking for say ....a 4 door. But until then....anything else I dive into dilutes the effort. But....thats not to say, that if I see a deck lid or dash or 2 door rear fender I won't drop everything to purchase it 8) .
By the way....please...when you guys come across total wrecks, start collecting front suspension parts. Most specifically, "T" subframes, strut housings and springs, idler brackets and arms and centerlinks. It may be a few months, but I am working on front end packages...or rebuilding units. It will probably be spring...but if you throw these parts in your barns....I will sooner or later start asking for cores that are out there. I can't start a service without at least 8 complete core sets. I have a bout 3 myself. Ray

"have enough VW's" I recognize these words, but together, they form a phrase which I cannot understand... :wink:

Oh, and I thought "lmao"= Laughed my ass off?
