'85 3B coupe quattro IC options? Good news!

[Mihnea Cotet]

Hey Marc and all!


I have some news and good ones apparently! It seems that I'll be able to
remove the hood latch if I replace it with hood pins, apparently the first
person who answered my question didn't understand correctly what I meant
:-))) So, where can I find a good used Isuzu NPR diesel truck IC like yours
Marc???? These trucs aren't available in Europe as far as I'm aware of so,
maybe in the US? Does anyone know of a truck boneyard where they'd have one
and could someone ship it to me if I send him the money?

Thanks to all,

Mihnea
