Ozona Texas/Anyone Heading Near This Location ???

[garyde]

I have owned several VW's and early model Porsche 356's. The one thing they all have in common is the metal and welding characteristics. If the vehicle has been in the Northeast for any time at all, you can count on sever rusting and corrosion.
They don't hold up. The early model engines, although simple, always seemed to leak oil and go out of tune.
Having said that, they are a fun car with a lot of memories.

Take magnets to check that parts haven't been stuffed/filled with Bondo. In particular, tops of the fenders and the pan/running board seams as mentioned earlier.

I think we need to have a mini rally in Ozona. I'll bring the magnets, the beer and we can all have some fun.

When I met my wife she had a VW Convertible, and she regretted getting rid of it. We have owned a few different older cars, VW's MG's and other mostly European cars, have seen a few tricks, but mostly head toward the better restorations that are considered good to excellent, but not 100 point cars. This VW is in good shape and appears to be a daily driver and possible show car with some serious TLC. It is a fun way to spend time.

Maybe we should have a rally where we all bring antique cars, and have some type of small show and tell?

Thanks for your advice and interest. Once again it shows how much in common we really have, Buses, boats, planes, bikes, toys of all kinds.

Who owns a TRAIN, that just about all that is left.
