I have a VW motor mount coming. Someone on here contacted me about having a
Great Plains VW for sale near Nappanee, Ind.
Waiting to hear back from him.
On another note...all repairs are completed and the fuselage final sanded
and ready for primer.
Thanks for all the help in confirming that the VW is still one of the
best choices.
