        Here's the exhaust for it, ordered new LCA's and some other front suspension parts, so if the weather is decent next weekend it may be a roller again and have the drivetrain in it too.

              Fred, got rained out this weekend for the last JY I need to check for those parts you need. Will go Thursday. BTW I guess you need a computer from a manual B6, not auto, right?

              Nice build, nice car!

                              Thanks Rafe! Went ahead and pulled trigger on some B6 specific parts on ebay.. VAF and ECU, tired of waiting around and no junkyards near having any 323s, so no I'm only in need of a few small items to be able to wire and fire it up
