[T3] Update on my early Notch in the Shop!!! Early notch issues?

Wed Dec 22 14:07:18 PST 2010

It would be nice to relax and drive. However...once I get on the highway....i relax. I think I am gonna have fun with this one and all the challenges that I endure during it's tenure of my ownership. I am going to keep it exactly how it is(less body work, ect)and fix it with only the intended correct parts. I believe that this car needs to be preserved and I am the one solely responsible for that as of right now. 

When it comes time to part with it(probably not) or when I can have enough space to keep it and enough money and education to take on another Type 3, (rather do that), I will look into another type 3 that is more suited for my comfortability rather than my dream car as that has now been completely saitisfied.

I cannot wait until it is out of the shop!!!! Still waiting on the NOS parts to come in to the shop. 

Thank you all for the opinions, ideas and troubleshooting as always.
