Nah, Rob, noone needs to see a stinky fside bonless like that.
Anyway it is starting to come together. Haven't had much spare time lately, but hopefully I can get it finished by the end of the month.
Anyone have a 55-58 license light lens with gasket for sale? Hit me up. |

Omg I love that color, it is so clean. I am a huge fan of laguna seca blue as well, this reminds me a little bit of it. Interior looks really good, now I am super jealous, this has given me some ambition to head out to the garage. |

This threads cool, funny, amusing. Now has anyone ever found 5 tons of the mary jane and accidentially found a vw bus smuggled in it? _________________ Waiting for santa to drop off funky green. I can wish can't I???? |

Anyone have a License Light Lens for my 58 here in the US? Been looking everywhere and can only find the ones at Karmann Konection. I can't quite justify $45 for the lens after shipping. It is the only piece I need that I can't find. Let me know. |

Crazy amount of speculation on how much the pot would be worth. If you tried to sell it, whoever buys it would probably ask for their money back, and if that fails, turn you over to the police. |

When I was in the Navy I used to recommend to my subordinates that anytime they bought a used vehicle they take it over to security and have the drug dog take a run through it. No harm, no foul. Better to find it there than at a random gate inspection.
Given the "hippy" heritage of some VW buses, it may be a good idea to stop by your local Police Department and ask for a courtesy sweep. Of course that's only if you're not a stoner yourself. _________________ Walküre Restoration Thread: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=737492 |
