What an awesome junkyard!!! (Stuff FS)
The Callaway would LOVE to have a speedo with triple digits.
Who do I have to... er I mean whatdya take for the speedo itself? I don't
need the other bits.
Shipped to Tacoma unless you are slow--then I'll get it this summer ;)

I may possibly have a MK2 160 speedo if someone wants to buy so I can
redistribute the wealth to the Callaway project. Not sure the mileage on
it. I am thinking 140kish.
BTW they have had my car a week and not a word! I am have Ferris Bueller
panic attacks with my poor car going airborne to the Star Wars theme.
