I had never thought of that!.......makes sense now 
good luck with the sale Mick.
Personally I would go the enjoy it for a bit and let it sell itself route.....
.....the more sorting and testing you do the less "chance" a new buyer has to risk. Get the turbo issue sorted and tuned accordingly.......IMO

the smaller turbo works quite well for street actually. Ask STIDUB, makes the car very responsive, but yeh, the option is there toi go for the full

ahh keep the vw and just rent your empty rooms out to Japanese uni students
They pay good money, as rooms are hard to get.
AND on weekends take em on tours of OZ in your vw for a small fee.
Like they do with those oz trikes joy rides at the Blue Mountains.

yeh, ok i guess - a few calls/pm's, but i've been lazy/busy to be honest. I was suppose to meet a guy 2 mondays ago who was quite keen, but just got
too busy with other work and other commitments. Did take it for a spin yesterday though - still grinning. Partly tempted to keep it so im not trying
to hard...

Alright, my mind is made up. Making my decision in light of 'the greater good'. Too much money sitting in the garage which could be used very wisely
elsewhere. At this stage im stripping the whole car and will be keeping the shell and pan only for a rainy day. Its too good to sell for nothing.
Unless someone offers me a good price for pan and shell, ill be keeping it.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOW FOR SALE - EVERY PART. Let me know what you want and make some offers. First in best dressed. Pricing will be less than what i
paid, but not for nothing.
Please have patience in replies to pm's, as i assume there will be a few...
Off ya go!
