That's too bad!  What sucks is that nobody wants to give these things away
for less than 1500 or so.  That's just a little high for me, especially
when I'll be cracking it open and replacing a lot of stuff internally
anyway.  I want to swap a Cummins 4BT into the Jeep as well, and those
things go for $1000 all day.  Oh well!  That's after the VW is done.  (or
closer to done than it is now)

You are going to get me in trouble, arent you!  :D  Out of the question,
right now.  I have absolutely no space for another project right now. 
Although, there is an 83 Rabbit GTI shell that was sitting outside the
autotech facilities at a vocational school I was working at for a while. 
Just for kicks thought about going over and asking them if I could pick it
up.  It goes to the scrap yard at the end of the school year anyway.  I
have yet to see them work on it as well.  Hmm........  Dangerous thoughts
a brewin'.  :D
