Re: Junk Yard diving....

Good break for me!

Yeah, I *desperately* need a right front fender from one of the SILVER
MK2's.  Would that be too much to ask?  I can do PayPal or whatever suits
you.  I live in Richmond, VA.

Btw, I've never seen a VW door handle in a yard before.  What, do they come
in with them off??!?  Are there handle gnomes that run around in the middle
of the night?

Thanks,
