After searching for some time, this car apeared on the VWVortex forum. Dan Reid facilitated the 16 hour pilgramage to Palmdale CA. Turned out to be a little rougher than the pictures looked but, it had a sunroof, was my favorite color, and after all it was a Swallowtail!

Now its a work in progress in my garage. Im planning a restoration with a few exceptions including a posible color change to a porsche orange and an extesive mechanical update.

Here's a few pictures of the car from when he bought it:

Engine bay before:

These next two are the current state of the engine bay (in about Feb 2004). As you can see, Nate has put a LOT of work into it!

These first few pictures are from when we (Nate and myself, Dan Reid) picked the car up in Palmdale, CA.
