Well Kurt I have you beat by a month then. 11/11/84. 25 by just a month. Got started in small engines and anything that could be taken apart when younger. By 10 I had restored my first JD tractor. Since then brother and I have restored around 45 old JD's and have a couple pulling tractors that are a little too hoped up (orginal 6500 lbs, 35 hp, 411 cubic in - after 4100 lbs, 250 hp, 900 cubic in out of only 2 cylinders). They brother came back from his honey moon saying he bought an 80 rabbit truck diesel. My now wife needed a car so I bought an 81 truck for her from the same guy (we were do to be married within a year). Then the following summer I found a nice 81 rabbit car in WY and restored that mechanically in my apartment parking lot (had the apartment full of parts that wouldn't fit in the car like the engine and tranny and dash). Then the next summer I found an 04 Golf diesel which I is the same summer I put a 1.9 TD into the 81 car. This past summer is the first summer I didn't do anything major to VW's or even buy another one. This group has helped me in many ways. Thanks everyone.
Also I would get the 1.6 TD if Ohio wasn't so far away.
