Title: First Swap Meet Of The Year!
Post by: Chris on March 08, 2008, 06:35:16 AM: April 13th is the date! 8:30 AM

I have secured a location to hold a swap meet in Surrey.

It is Port Kells as well, a few blocks from the old Airspeed Shop.

9465 189th Street

There will be some signage to guide you in from 96th AVE.

More Details to follow, so get in your garage and start sorting your stuff for sale.

Thank Chris.

I probably did as well as I would have done in a poker hand (lost my shirt) but I recouped some cash from all previous expenditures. It is always enjoyable to hang out with ASF members.

Post by: RAD356RS on April 14, 2008, 03:05:56 PM: My wife and I stopped by for a quick look on our way by. Didn't have a lot of time but I thought I spotted a rear bumper (dull black paint) that might fit our T2 Double Cab. Anybody know if it would fit and who the vendor was? I think it was on the right (north) side of the parking lot.
Title: First Swap Meet Of The Year!
Post by: Airjack on April 14, 2008, 10:15:07 PM: I believe I saw the bumper leave the lot heading south to the U.S. I believe.
I have a set of over-riders for a bumper if you find one.
I'm looking for a passenger door handle (outside '67 van)
