Yeah I too work with Media on the Apple Platform, using editing tools,
design and dvd's hence why I came up with the initial concept but the
more people involved the better I assume.
Not sure if could get this off the ground possibly.
I now have a line on a local VW guy who has 7 vanagons for sale, he
worked for VW for 25 years and has connections with various people all
around. He is looking into an engine for me.
Still might just do the gaskets either myself or with a local
mechanic. I am costing the process of me it doing it myself right now,
tools, jacks, ramps, etc...
