Title: Nuts
Post by: Bugaru "JAY" on August 18, 2009, 05:47:05 pm

 As many may know I do much of my own conversion work and have done a few's "that's more then a few" I1t . But when I grow up I want to be able to do this type work, because either I'm cheap or there's something here that dosn't meet the eye. That or this guys is nuts, or I'm under estimating my skill set.  s#r

Don't think he really wants to sell the bus, just brag about it.  I1t
Looks like a great job was done on the restore. 
Although he may have been living above 10,000 feet for tooooo long
and lacks O2.  c23 c23 c23 c23

"Downfalls of the conversion:
may catch some crap from some vw purists, but you can just smile and wave as you pass them like they are standing still "


I think that extra horse power went to his head

Nice but $40,000  :rolleyes: :icon_puke_l: I think that he must have paid a lot of bread to the people he farmed out the work to & thinks he should get that back. I watch the Mecum Auto Auctions on a regular basis and unless it's a rare muscle car you are lucky to get 1/2 your investment back.

I used to live in Colorado. Leadville was where all the dopers lived...looks like nothing has changed.
