What? No body tub? What about the frame?
Actually the intent of my message was to inquire as to the possible location
of some old parts that could use a kind loving home on my MKI. I intend to
pay for the parts and shipping, just don't want to pay full price for dealer
stuff is all. I thought some of the listers out there might have a box of
parts lying around that is maybe getting in the way and could use a few
extra bucks as well as the (I hope) satisfaction of helping out a fellow
enthusiast.
