that's alright, thanks for the input....i just need as much info on it as possible, since i'm new to the VeeDub scene...i want to learn as much as i can in a short amount of time so i can start working on it....it was a good deal on it, but automatic...i can deal with it for a while, but eventually, want to have a turbo 16v 5spd, but that's for later...lol
