My thoughts exactly! 8) 8) 8)

I've also been really lucky both times I've bought in the States with the previous owners being top guys and helping any way they can. The PO of this ute is dropping a bundle on this sale but is doing anything he can to help me out. Am I just lucky, or are seppos who love VW's just really top people????

Thanks NCR :D Is the Riviera part of your username a reference to you living near the Napa Valley wine district?




The PO sent the hub caps away to get the KdF logo painted special! But this next shot with the caps off looks pretty sick also....
