Bitterness/Rant (kinda long)

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Well - I don't really have the time to keep looking. I already have a VERY
clean mk1 that was my candidate for resto before finding this car and I need
to get this done between now and the fall.

It was just that this $1k car was so much in the direction I was shooting
for _in addition_ to the price. It would have saved me considerable hours
and $$$. The car I currently have is Mars Red and with A/C (I was going to
weld up the rain tray).

But as I mentioned before there is some solace in knowing I'll get to do it
the exact way _ I _ want it and not have to settle for someone else's
ideas/execution.

Thanks, Jeff
