Chris, C'mon, you can't possibly need all these buses. How about you send your single cab my way. I have a nice muffler for it.

  I could use an NOS muffler for it.

Progress of the weekend: As Kev mentioned - a lot of driving. Grabbed a Mango original paint rear apron. A set of four 60 bus wheels, and a 36 horse that is only a month off of what it should have. Exhausted now but good weekend.

[CHEECH]

Guilty Is there a rehab or 12 step for VW addicts? I'm outa control


We DID sell the trike though! This is almost like a trade

That trailer would look sweet on that beetle Brian! If the Westy sells we would like to buy an Overcamp roof tent for four, and run it on the Mango just for trips.

Gina and I did some planning yesterday and came to some agreements on vehicles. One compromise was that we would lower the Mango (with the running gear we built for the Double cab) and sell the Double cab (with the stock gear from the Mango). Of course we would like to keep the Copper's fire truck. Trike is sold. Keeping the Thing. The oval we thought of racing but didn't realize it has it's original pan and engine with it, so we may just build and drive it. Like to build the sandrail...andon
