A few things to tweak and I'll be in good shape...now if the Invasion was a different date, I'd be able to go!

Maybe in two years it'll be closer to me and I'll be able to go in an actual Type 3.

Vaguely. But it's all beginning to come back into focus...

I sold him a NOS hood trim seal (I got that back with the car) and later sold him a NOS ignition column (also in the car)...

He did a lot of work on the car-it's in pretty nice mechanical shape from what I can tell after 20 minutes of looking it over.

We all know you're really into originality and details, so it found its way to the right person. Everyone loves restorations and builds but there's nothing like a VW that's still 95% the way the factory did it. And as a bonus you got your NOS parts back.

That's cool you got it! I would hate to see it slammed on earlies or any other wheels.

I tore down the entire rear assembly for replacement and fine tuning. After digging around, Sinclair was due for some lubrication love.
