To my Vintage VW friends. Could you please share with me your photos taken of our Rometsch, yrs 76-93. Bad decisions made in bad times have
left me with few examples of our efforts. I thank you for your consideration.

Hey Phil, Joe Crockett pulls out the achives for you. There is even one of you behind the wheel. And the beloved Marybeth. Hope all is well. Enjoy.

Ahhh... a new mystery perhaps! The mysterious SROS ("Secret Rometsch Owners Society") may have a new member.
Why is it that all these Rometsch guys are so secretive? |

Last time to spoke to Mac Jones (half year ago) he still had the car, but it was for sale. He contacted some people about the availablility of this cars, but never heart that it was sold. Interesting.

A good example of building a motor, and not knowing what it's suppose
to look like when it's finished
