be with the family.
Ive owned AC VWs since I was 16 but in all that time have not become as
mechanically inclined as I would like. Local friends who can help me keep my
"Fatties" alive and/or just shoot the breeze about AC VW's would be
great. I marked "MECHANICAL HELP" below only because I would be a
great second set of hands but dont look to me for mechanical advice. You tell
me. :o)
