weekend plans

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

I hear you about not wanting to rebuild another tranny.
I've done 4 this year, 3 in the last two months, not including disassembling multiple other trannies for parts.
Of course, now that I have zero interest in even looking at another 020 tranny, my nephew's 020 just busted it's second gear.
And I'll have 3 Peloquin LSD's in my possesion tomorrow! None of them mine, but guess who will probably end up installing them.

Congrats on getting your Scirocco back on the road. Glad I could be of some minimal help.
