ch ch ch changes im going threw!
never seems to stop new options plans plans change mid project ,,sell off bits, get other bits.
The good thing is that VW gear is so sellable you can pick stuff up change your mind and move it on without much pain.
I recon that I am not the only one and that its not just a womans perogative to change your mind.

What have you changed.
23 windows ...8 too many!

LOL ! I had a look in my mind for the Notch at first but that has changed.

Was going to totally dechrome etc etc but no , can't do it.

I saw 1 piece windows then realised i actually like the vent .

Gone from being a kind of german look , highly modded , snarling beast to now more of a resto cruiser.

Maybe it's realising you haven't got the $15-20k to go crazy and just 10k!!!

Also maybe it's a matter of not getting carried away and pricing things up before taking on a project. Very expensive these t3's!!!

If you want a full resto , fast , built , street vw you can quite easily kiss $25K plus no worries and end up with a car thats never on the road unless you've got a large wallet!

Oh well , change , the only constant:duh

Have fun and do whatever you want!

lol....I'm the worst in the world for it:P


but it all good fun:thumb what else would we spend our money on.....lol


look at it this way, if you buy a motor for $600 then change your mind and sell it for $500 you have lost $100. but if you keep it "you will sell the car" and you'll loose heaps....plus buy the other motor for the new project anyway....:P
