So you give up a crafted car lets say a (kid) in a moment to further your family. So screw it adopt another only to give up on a car (kid) that was a father son's project. It's the memories now that my kids have grown and gone.

"Doing what you have to do" with difficult circumstances is called 'being an adult' and people do it all the time and move on with their lives. You're hanging on to regret and chiding people who are offering an opinion that equates to 'move on with your life and build something better' but you don't want to hear that because you've got regret in a headlock and won't let go out of personal principal that applies to/makes sense to no one but you.
When you put something in an open forum on the internet - you're going to get opinions - whether you want them or not. Don't want opinions? Don't post on an open forum. Simple. |

You have a VIN, a plate#, and a locale.
Not many listers here from Florida I guess, so the rest is up you YOU. |
So, cough up $200 for a private investigator. |
No faith in Magnum PI or anyone for that matter. Easy to say when your on the other end eh? To many flakes out there. Done |
I gave up, when he was too lazy to make more Florida etc VW Club inquires & too cheap to pay $200 for a private investigator! _________________ https://imgur.com/user/FisherSquareback/posts

I think this one is the 1 that hit home most. A friend of mine is looking for a car from his youth as well. However in his case he's not beyond looking for another one to build from. His biggest problem is the NLA of a nice solid base to build from, as most of those cars either rusted away, or have been crushed. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

This is why I never sold my first car. I didn't want to be one of those people who looked back and said, "I wish I had never....." I bought it when I was 16. I've made some sacrifices and spent some money to keep it around. It's not in the best of shape but I still have it. I just recently turned 60. I'll have had it 44 years this April. _________________ "Just $99 down and $64 a month for 36 months buys you a brand new Volkswagen Beetle!"
