This is an urgent call for anyone who know of a machanic in the Portland/Tigard area who can finish building and instaling my new engine before next weekend! Our current mechanic is sick and probiboly won't get it done before then. We'd like to have it ready by the 28th so we can make it to the show in Washington. Anyone who knows of someone please let me know! Thanks so much!

It's a 1776, It just needs to be assembled. Neither mcgdo or I are "mechanically inclined" when it comes to that stuff. We want it done right! I believe we have all the parts....just need then put together. We also have a FF tranny that we'd like put in but the engine if #1 right now.
Rizz do you know of someone?

Actually Rizz isn't that far from me. Salem is about 20 mins from my house. Maybe I'll just give up wanting to take the camper out to the show this weekend and we'll hit up the next one.... Anyone know when the next one is? And where?

i had rizzag rebuild the front beam in my '67 and am very happy with the results. aside from completely going through it, he even painted it and it looks top notch. fast, fair price, and quality. he does good work.

take your negativity elsewhere.

Jeff Vidal is a great mechanic he learned from one of the best (Greg Holland) of Holland's Wagen works in Salem Jeff is also very good at many mechanical tasks having to do with Volkswagens !

So for the record I don’t know the person that is rubbing Jeff's name in the dirt and I don’t agree with it.

I don't know who that dipshit is, but Jeff does great work. If this is how wagenswest drums up business, they will never see a dime of my money.
