new 02.

My wish list there - is chrome "stone guards" like on that beautiful golf tii

headlight washer system

metal sunroof flip up thingy

I'm hoping Essen is all it cracks up to be - the best classic car venue in Germany.

Nobody is replying to you because we are all jealous!

Here is another place worth visiting too: Meilenwerk2 (Berlin)

I found a crack free one piece Euro spec 02 dashboard (no fasten seat billboard or gear shift pattern) for only 120 Euros at Veterama in 2004. I mailed it back to coupe king where they installed it in my 74 tii. They just had to cut the hole for the tii clock, no big deal. I just didn't have enough money in my wallet for the Euro spec 02 bumpers that I found. While I was there, I also found a redtip antenna that is now on my tii.

Thanks for the info - I've got veterama on my calendar for Oct 6,7

The museum in Berlin looks cool - I have to say I've found the Germans to be the biggest classic car fans in Europe -

And Steve I'll try to be more quiet and not mouth off about how much I enjoy my life here. I'd be jealous too. I decided to act on my dream of living overseas and luckily got a teaching position in Italy.(just in time for my 50th birthday and my 25th wedding anniversary) And now that I'm here I'm trying to take advantage of all the classic car events in Europe before I come back home and or run out of moola.
