Hi Matt,

For someone great to do the job, try Andrew at Air Cooled Antics, e-mail: andrewanne@westnet.com.au

Andrew worked for five years at a performance VW shop in Germany and has just built me a complete Type 3 chassis.

He is based at Kaniva in Western Victoria whcih is not that far from Mt Gambier.

All the best, Dino.
