Hey Barls,

Good luck, are you doing the whole german look thing, de-chromed and shaved?.

I reckon that you kind of have to with a super beetle, it would be a shame to have all that strut suppension go to waste.

Dr L has an old saas steering wheel...I love it...

It was on him and is staying...but I have been told it might be part of his wiring problems...Apparently Type 3's don't like sports steering wheels...Do you know anything about it

Are you looking for one?

no ive still got one from beast, but i may have to replace it if i bent it when i head butted it in the crash. i can not see why it would cause a problem cause the only thing connected to the boss is the horn and its one wire. its does not make sense to this technician.

Man, can you say lucky - right down the middle :o Thats an impressive hit... As for the jap/modern car and thin steel argument. :blah The grade of steel purification, weight and tensile strength has progressed on par with computer technology. And although it's alot thinner nowadays, the strength, resistance to tearing (and rotting for that matter), puncturing, stretching and so on is far less than far thicker equvelants from many years ago.:blah

Go hard Barls, going by the pics, I would have just wrecked the cars and bought a new toy.

Top effort, good luck with the xmas dead line.
