Subject: Toronto to New Jersey for a 22.5 Gallon Winkler Tank
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
I am FINALLY driving down (in the wee hours of tomorrow morning) to
Millville NJ to see Ken Wilford and get some work done including:
1) A new 22.5 Gallon Winkler Tank and new fuel lines
2) Replace anything missing under the tank, particularly heating tubes etc
(not necessarily using VW parts)
3) Replace brake and clutch master cylinders (the clutch slave is new)
4) New instrument cluster w/tach to replace clock
5) Get the auxiliary gas heater to work
Wish me luck...
Thanks,
Chris Gronski
