[V8] While I was away.....

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Michael,

Glad to hear from you again!  Hope the convalescing and next surgery go
well.

I bought the repair "kit" from the dealer over a month ago, but haven't
tackled the job yet (hope to do so this weekend).  Mom's V8 has taken
precedence (especially with Mother's Day around the corner).

For the visor, check with Keith or Bruce at audiconnection.com

As for Iraq -- you KNOW I want pics :-)

Ingo
