Hi Jeff,

I played that game last summer. It was profitable, but it was a lot more
work than repairing it would have been.

In my case it helped that I started off with a wolfsburg, which brought
a lot of valuable components to the table; rear facing seats, fibreglass
bumpers, electric mirrors and so forth.

I *could* have repaired my 87, but I was tight on space, time and $$$.
Selling it would bring me two of those, which made the decision a whole
lot easier. Your mileage may vary.


Happy Trails,
