My dad is a British car buff and I have always been the VW kid - anyway he sent me this article that his pals were discussing and I knew where it belonged and thus here it is. You probabally know about it already but I would be remiss not to share. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/07/19/second-bu...storation/ |

Just as original as the other Gerson restored BD's. Take that any way you want btw. But it's better to have them back on the road, even if they are 95% new metal. _________________ "There is only one sin; disconnection from self." |
