Geez guys, thanks! I still look forward to the day when I actually meet some of you regulars on these forums!!
That ad for the 66 turbo Westy is too funny! I took MOST of those pictures in the ad- MOST of the words in that ad were written by Rick, my good friend and \"builder\" of that project- the pics in bare metal are in MY garage here in Bham!! The new owner bought it, shipped it over to the UK (where it showed up really bummin'... body damaged, airbag ruptured, shift linkages messed up etc) It was used as evidence in a court case against the shippers--- Since the purchase the owner has actually been able to enjoy about 100 miles on it! (he just reran the old ad with a few changes)
THEN- he simply lists it for twice, yes twice the overall purchase price. I hope he sells it, but that price is insane no matter how \"kool\" the bus might be. The colors will soon date the style, the engine is a bit excessive to use, the price will limit nearly any VW lover and worst of all it's a late splitty.
It's a shame the ad isn't up to date- those BRMs are now on a 58 panel near Bremerton- The wheels on it now are Porsche Boxster of some kind and I've never even seen pics... The airbag setup is awesome but once again I've only seen that pic in the ad... sorry to blow up your thread!
later
