as the title states....
share photos of the most rotted pile you have ever seen.
I have been on a mission to clean up around here, so posted my old s/c for sale.
trying to load it on the trailer was a job for a skid steer with forks....
then when I went to turn the wheel, it sounded like a gunshot....the front beam blew apart, split in 2
I have NEVER seen a beam split in 1/2 before...ever. seen crusty nasty ones, but having a 2 piece beam is a first for me
so, what do you have to share?

That one can't be MRPOS,
Someone was bold enough to crawl under & capture those images.
In their surfing wetsuit, probably.
Cue bears. |

Skills - that really isn't very representative of the work you do. I would expect better next time. I mean most of us can live with the rust and all - but the hinges are really tacky. I think your buddy VDubTech used those same hinges on a beater sliding door a few years back. I hope you got a deal on them used.

wow, that one is ugly...the l/r corner is gone, but the battery side is still in tact...
I will have to do some digging...I have a bus I got that lived on cape cod...someone made WOOD rockers for it. that bus was a mess. it was a westy that they used drain oil under the bus. the belly pans were so full of this sand/oil mix it stunk to high hell.

Crap - I just sold my 71 beam for $350 - I would have delivered it for free in recognition of your unrelenting snark....

I made TomWesty cry! I found that on the side of this guys house. He had a plant nursery in the backyard, the bus had sat for many years being used to store fertilizer. It was slammed by adjusting the rear spring plates and pulling most of the front leaves out. I had to put it onto a trailer to get it home. Parts were falling off on the highway....really! It was however complete with engine and trans. I got it for $150......oh.....and it had a set of real 14" Fuchs.
