life has been good since my first visit from Colin and we have a new member of the family...I met a fellow VW guy who was looking for a free resort stay in Miami with his wife and new baby and agreed to sell me one from his collection and flat tow it with some custom tow bars I help him fabricate over phone and email.
So as of now........ =D>
Another Canadian oldtimer has moved to Hollywood Florida to retire with us and his name is OKA DOKA
He is a bit rusty but not as bad as I feared and he came complete with a 90's jetta 1.9TD transplant.
(thankfully the non electronic model with no computer stuff to go wrong)
I even got a spare identical used engine in the back of the Doka's bed (thanks to the friendly border control officers)
Got my Florida title today from a really nice Caribbean DMV lady who said she grew up seeing them back home but haven't seen one since she moved here, she inspected it stamped it "passed" an posed for a pic when we were done!
He seats six with factory seatbelts intact (thank goodness) with bucket for the driver, a double passenger bench and a 3 seat bench behind the inside wall in the crew cab. Here are a few pics for all to enjoy! If anyone wants to see interior shots before I yank out and clean lemme know!
Colin? when is your next trip to Florida?!??
Jeff
hardly! I just have a cool wife (obviously since 3 Vanagondiesels later she's still around) I just really enjoy the hunt for the rare and fun!
