You're welcome! I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon I'd sure like that back seat to be brown to match my other seats but it isn't that major of a concern to me at the moment.

Can you do me a HUGE favor? Can I have a scan or picture of that whole page? My bus originally came from Portland, WA and I haven't been able to fine a complete listing of the VW dealerships in Washington from the 70's. That page might have where my bus came from!!

So I washed Paddy today and threw CLR on the surface rust spots and it turned the car from a 50 footer to a 40 footer Razz I can't wait until it gets warmer out to throw some rubbing compound on her.

I think I remember seeing it now. I have a friend that I keep looking for a bus for, I guess I missed that steal! Of course change out the fuel lines and then buff out that paint. I bet she shines right up!
