Original post:
Ever see stuff for sale here in the classified's that makes you groan?
here's one:
NOS ball joint:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=662969
it's a chinese made 555 brand balljoint, the kind that CIP1 used to sell 5 years ago for about 19 bucks. i can think of a few things to call it but NOS isn't one of them.
here's another nugget from the same seller:

yeah, that's a giant let-down. if the photo matched the description it would be a good score. instead it's just a 68-70 front tin. _________________ SL |

Bay owners whine? _________________ OGJHC
Kombisutra;
I'm starting to get little wafts of bus stink coming from the north. Something about the unique scent of drivers seat padding when it's glued together with mouse piss and shit that really gets me going... and I'm smelling it! Oh yeah! Time to start loading up the equipment. |
