[SPAM] Fw: hello from Brazil!

[scirocco at vintagewatercooleds.com (Eric S)]

Welcome to the list Ricardo!

Your Gol looks like a Fox Coupe (which we never got).  I understand the US
Fox that was sold here was made in Brazil...does the Gol have the same
front end as the Fox?  Because I see your engine is mounted inline...
