Re: Swedish Mk1 Project...

Welcome to the list.  I'm sure you'll enjoy.  Your car sounds like a real
classic.  Are those OZ superturismos on your mk1?  They are really nice,
and hard to get in north america, but are brought in under the MSW line. 
not as nice.

Anyway,  look foreward to hearing more from ya.
