I'm back from Phoenix with a van full of stuff. I was not disappointed; They had at least 4 Hornets there and a lot of engines. I picked a Dodge 340 from a Dart for the Hornet since they didn't have a stock I6 for it. I snapped a pic when I fueled the van:
 They also had a bunch of 1970 Barracudas and I bought a grille with a tiny red stripe in it.  On the way home I found a Golf Mk2 GTI in sad shape sitting on a field. I've returned with a trailer and spoke to the farmer. He said his son field-raced that thing and blew the engine. Was sitting since 2008 or so. He gave it away for free since he would have to pay for its disposal. I have big plans for it as soon as the Hornet is done: It will be converted to be RWD. (Since the Golf Mk2 was also available with a 4WD drivetrain called "synchro" it is possible to convert it to be RWD) Tried to crank the engine wih a wrench but it is seized solid, which means I need a new engine.
