Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well done at $200.00! When I built my Manx it was supposed to be a street buggy. First time I took it into the dirt and saw what a VW can do, it became my camping machine. 1600 sp had way more then enough power since I was running 1:26 bus boxes.

This bug was one of those "Not for Sale' cars. My buddy with the Manx tried to buy it for years (He's a big time VW guy) I had asked about it and was told no. Then the owner died. I knew him. He was a cool guy. But now the house is going up for sale. The family has to get all the stuff out of it. I bought it off the nephew. He just wants everything gone. I didn't even ask. He came over and told me $200 and I couldn't pass on that. He's selling everything. I'm going to buy some tools from him. He wants to get rid of this stuff and go back to Florida. He just keeps throwing me deals. My VW buddy is going to be pissed that I snagged it. ![]() I can't make him too mad. I'd like to have him help me get it running. He's the guru on VW's. So I can't rub it in too hard.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I really like that Manx. I was a VW bug nut in the '70s. I never built a dune buggy. My now B.I.L. had a metalflake green one with Cragars in HS (& Gates Commandos). I built him a killer engine with daddy's money. I built a '66 Baja Bus

Do you know what that double cab split window is worth today? It's crazy.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Ran 1/2" pipe across the garage rafters to get compressed air to the work area. I have been running a hose over the cabinets, and that got pretty old.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm hoping so. Every time I go to do something with a wood working project and need a pneumatic nailer, there's that hose to deal with, and I have to be careful not to knock the nice wood I have piled up on the cabinets off. I have about 20% of a 2-car garage to do wood working in. Part of the deal with moving even further from work (before I retired) was that I would have a shop. Hasn't happened, yet. The city doesn't allow any more than the shed that I have in the back yard, and it's full of c**p.

I bought mine for surfing and to travel in when I was 20. I built it into a camper and went cross-country to the Eureka area. Took a trip to Baja to live up to it's name. Many stories. The paint is 68-72 Diamond Reo Meadow Green and that's an oil cooler on the roof. That bus went a lot of places on and off road

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Me and my wife washed my Mom and Dad's deck and house. It was a beautiful day to do it, except for the breeze blowing bleach in my eyes. He has amazing water pressure, so all we needed was a hose.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The Rye is the only part that sounds good. Liver is only good to feed to animals or as fish bait, it isn't edible.

All this talk about anniversaries makes me realize my wife left in 6/6 16 years ago. I need to celebrate. I guess I'll get a pizza. Isn't that the proper "wife left and I'm hungry" celebration meal?

It looks like they sell firewood in little bundles outside of the bat factory there, in case you need to stock up...
