How much for the fake sheepskin seat cover :-)

That Variant could even become a project. Doesnt look too bad.Especially if it has papers.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).

That Variant would make a very nice project, all the trim is there :shock: And it *looks* relatively solid....
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:
