All I can say is after getting the Thing I’m restoring done I’ll never do another one. I’ve restored multiple bugs and buses and I’ve never had the headaches with the price of parts as you do with a thing. I know all parts are going up but it seems every part for a thing is made of gold.

It’s insane how much all the rubber items cost. As well as metal replacement panels and fenders. Rolling Eyes
