Treasure!

On friday night, I was diligently performing me duties at work, browsing the web and updating my blog. Amidst this toil, I came across the miracles of KSL and craigslist. On these, were a number of classified advertisements for VW parts. Between Steve and I, we followed up on a number of them. Two of them agreed to having us come out and we planned our Saturday to reflect the various invitations and personal ambitions that we had received during the week. After going to the flea markets of SLC (a big disappointment) and checking out VW shops, we made it out to Magna. In Magna, we found a man by the name of Bill who showed us a shed full of 1500 and 1600 engines with all the fixings. We spent at least three hours, getting together two complete engines. Luckily, Steve consented to us using his trunk and part of his back seat to store the treasure we had found. Bill, giving us all we could eat in Volkswagen hardware, made us very happy as we pulled away with a sluggish back end.

After all the excitement, we finished our weekend by finishing the pegboard we put up and putting a sawhorse workbench together, making a pleasant home for the loot.
