unfortunately i wont be able to make it. i'm on last minute christmas shopping duty.
Title: Clearing Out The Storage Shop
Post by: Bruce on December 21, 2006, 03:56:50 AM
Still lots of good stuff there folks!  I managed to walk away with about 40lbs of stuff I don't need.

Every buyer gets a Free mini-detailing kit.  A small pump bottle of window cleaner, and another of paint detailer.  Also, every buyer gets a Free K-mart oil filter that fits in place of your HP-1

Directions if you've never been there:

Head north on Willingdon past Hastings.  Note the Chevron on the corner.
Just after the Willingdon driveway for the Chevron, you will see an alley entrance.  Go down that lane.
After you've past the long fence at the back of the Chevron, you will see a couple of small parking lots with a dumpster by the power pole at the lane.  This is the place.  Go up onto the loading dock and find the door on the extreme east side of the dock.  That leads down into the SHIT SHOP

I got in both days. Thanks Geoff, I am sure a lot of the stuff goin, I am going  to wish I got them. I just couln't keep track of it.

On the other hand I got a spare chromie, a whole rear clip, hup caps (I used to find them for free when I was seventeen), a free bra (used to tried getting those thins off and now i got one to put on),  and a hide away muffler for my header at an awesome price.

I am still aware I should owe you a beer, and by my calculation probably more like a case. I am sure I will see you around and as an OlD XXXXX XXX, we will drink some brews in the future.

Regards,

egspot

You keep tempting me like this and I'm going to fight the border and come up :wacko: I'm just having a problem with the 3 hour+ round trip.

Post by: Bruce on December 30, 2006, 03:47:09 PM
The engine stand isn't the cheap Taiwan one you see in the catalogs.  It was custom made, and made very well.

At first glance, the tire machine appears to be mechanically operated, but it isn't, it is air powered.  It looks very funny, but for free........

Hans, what the heck are you gonna do with the Procar console?

I'm surprised Matt didn't snag the notchback deck lid.
