a plan is a foot but we'll have to wait amd see what comes of it.

as the title says i have asomething that i'm working on but only time will tell what actually happens.

i got a call back re the ragtop mechinism, the guy couldn't find it but thinks that it may be in one of 2 steel boxes that have audi engines sitting on top of them. aka he can't check them without a bit of extra muscle.

while on holiday i got a call from a lady that i gave my usual speil about vw's "i don't suppose you know of any vw's or bits there of in your neck (knecht :) ) of the woods?" one day at work. "no i don't, but i'll find one for you". there was something about the tone in her voice that said she was determined to find me one and would... she has. all i know so far is it is that has been converted to 12V (aka it is a 6V model the owner said he thought it was a 67 or 69), is fitted with a 1600 motor and comes with a spare motor and "anything with vw on it" of which there is suppositly a bit of. wife permitting i'll be checking it out on sat morning (its a good 3/4 hour drive to the town where the guy lives then we'll head out to his farm) i'm trying not to get my hopes up but lets be honest i'm more than a little excited. only time will tell. damn i love the thrill of the hunt.

i need to stop dreaming about cars and flog off some crap so i have a few $ to play car with...
