Subject:      Good local mechanic worked on my 85
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Just had a local private mechanic install a new exhaust on an engine that had
at least 1 broken stud.  He removed and welded a couple other support bits
during the job.  Replaced the oxy sensor with new.  Installed all new fuel
lines and covered them with the old outside protective plastic shrouds.

I supplied the new exhaust kit and fuel line kit but nothing else.  He picked
up the oxy sensor and replacement studs as well as a few other gaskets and
bolts.

Total bill - $330 including additional parts and shop.  I like Westside VW, but
this was a lot cheaper for 10 hours of work.

He is in the Minneapolis metro if anyone is interested.  Contact me at the
shown email address.
