Yea, and a picture I took with my grandfather's "period correct" camera that I inherited.
I did call a few times (not on my personal phone) on mute so I could hopefully get him to call back. He did and his name is Ulices Millan. The local number and that the map is actually really close to my house has me most concerned. I also set up an email specifically for this and sent him a message. We'll see if he responds. |
I'll keep flagging the ad, too. Can't stand crummy people.

Not really a whine it just won't last long and it will probably go across the pond cause it has a title. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1921441

"The only "upgrade" is a contemporary AM/FM radio and CD player with an input line."
And the single center mount carb. And whatever abortion exhaust system is mounted. And the van owner they stole that middle seat from probably wants his garage sofa back.
At least the duct tape in the engine compartment is being used on ducts. That's worth 23k right there.

Now that's a bit harsh, it's foil tape not duct tape.  That'll be fun to remove for engine work.

But foil tape is duct tape, and is the only tape allowed by building codes for duct work anymore. Duct tape is for keeping the fenders on your rusty Honda.

Yes, and we all know foil tape is much better. That's why I was "impressed"
The only proper use of duct tape I know of is taping bags shut from lead paint renovation work... and bumpers.

Sorry Brian, but I am  Do you mean you don't like it when someone in their ad tells you approx $16K is not a lot of money? I know I find it hard pill to swallow, having been underpaid for what seems like my whole life… but remember, that's from my viewpoint
Nice zip tie frame repair on this one:

Just that I remember when $1600 would have been a lot of money for a bus.  |

Yeah in the late 80's early 90's nobody really even wanted a bus. dirt cheap. It's like fastback mustangs nobody wanted them at all. Old guys tell me you couldn't give one away so they just pulled the motors and crushed the cars.

That bus was sold by Herrell bug parts in Georgia within the last 6 months or so. Most of those pictures are from one of their shops. It was priced a good bit less than it is now.

Please tell us more, where did you get them?, who made them?, what was wrong with them?, what did the vendor say?
Any pictures?
