"I can't change the direction of the wind but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination"

I've been sitting on the fence about the FLAT4 repop mirrors-mostly due to the cost of them.  By the time I buy one and have it shipped (and eat some money in the dollar conversion), each mirror would cost about $100 each.  I couldn't deal with that coin for a mirror...and it's not a 'need' item right now so I'd planned to wait.

Then one popped up in the classifieds for $60 shipped from Thailand so I bought it.  See how that works?  40% discount and I lose my rationale for not buying shit I don't need right now.  Oh well.  I'd have bought it at some point in the future anyway.  And it's not a spare-so I'm going to run with that...

In other news, I had a rather lengthy conversation with a local VW guru (he worked at Volkswagen for ~20 years) about the status of my car project.

I hate to admit it but he's almost talked me into restoring the car as an N model (which is technically what it is) since they're more rare.  It should also be less costly to finish due to the fact that N models are far simpler with less chrome.

Off the top of my head, here are the main differences between the N and the S models:

The gears are turning in my head now...
