Hi Mike

I'm really pleased to hear from you. I'd thought perhaps you weren't
going to answer (my experience with most people who have knowledge I
sorely need), or more likely had dropped off the list... glad I was
wrong! Yes, computers can be a majot pain... I've been having trouble
with my ISP and also Eudora has been giving me grief in the last
couple of weeks.

I'll give Randy a try... hope he replies! I recently tried to get
info from another similar ad's owner, with no reply. Hpe it wasn't
this same guy...

So far I have the Caravelle, a KEP flywheel/adaptor plate kit, an SVX
engine and my G50 trans arrived a couple of weeks or so ago, with
starter, clutch, CVs, shifter, Konis and a steel T3 engine lid to
replace my flammable plastic highrise (modified to clear Holden V6)
lid.

I made the mistake some time ago of giving in to temptation (well,
Ben Tan reckons I'm an impulsive buyer) and buying Electric-Life
electric window kit, remote central locking, remote
start/alarm/window-closer and Ben Tan's 16" Mercedes CLK alloy wheels
& tires. Bought a Hella Raintronic automatic wiper system on special
from Canada, and brought in a South African grill set with inner
lights. Grabbed a Golf CL instrument panel with 7000rpm tacho and
220kmh speedo and a žus Depot Vanagon cluster. All this money could
have been spent on the engine/trans conversion, and it might have
been close to running by now...

Regards
Andrew
