Bad Drivers

I would swap the stereo and the engine before they total it and then see if you can but it back (if it is still strait). Put a removable rear apron and some fat rear fenders on it then get a rear 944 set-up for it.

I hate dealing with insurance companies... When I crashed my motorcycle the insurance company totaled the bike and took the title. The damage was all cosmetic and the bike still ran fine. So I bought it back for $800 and drove it around for another year and then sold it as a race bike for $1500. When dealing with insurance companies remember this. "If you are stuck with the feeling that you are being screwed, you probably are"... Oh yea , don't be afraid to loot your car of anything valuable if they won't sell it back to you. If you need some junk engine parts to stick in there I have a bad case with cracked heads and some cylinders. It will at least look like an engine if they take it away.

Good news, I got a Fat check for $3025.30 and I got to keep the car. The only problem is I had to salvage the title and try to get a rebuilt title. But all I have to do is buy another good Bug title from someone in Kentucky and change the numbers. Also if I get the title from in Kentucky I don't have to get it inspected to make sure the numbers match.

Now, I'm looking for a rust free, driveable, Karmann Ghia coupe, I'd like it to be '69 and newer, IRS

. My budget at this time is $3000, but it's growing daily.

I got my eye on thesamba.com but if someone knows a guy or has a friend that has one for sale. That would help a bunch. Thanks.

Kevin Smith knows of one in Fla. but it needs some pan work.

Mikey,
Glad that the insurance worked out OK for you.
