My garage. Right now it houses a 81 rabbit s, 78 westy and a 95 b4 vr6 wagon. and a whole lot of engines/trans
Image

Got a b4 parts car. gutted it this weekend. got some good stuff for my wagon. black carpet, front bumper and random other bits. Had a good running motor. will be using the aba block&tranny for a different project. (kevs rocco).

got lots of odb1 2.0stuff head, intake.... that is up for grabs. the best part is i drove this car into my garage. 100 bucks, couldn't pass it up.

I am looking for a straight b4 drivers front fender.. if any one knows let me know. l5ny paint. royal blue (purple!)

I will post up progress made here rather than make build threads...

Check out discountbodyparts.com. I got a fender for around $115 shipped. When I went to pre fit the fender I didn't have to do anything to it. I give them an A+.

It will come primed. You will have to get it painted. The paint doctor in the heights did a good job.

Looks like things are snowballing in the I need parts category! Sorry about the bad luck. I know that category very well. :D

picked up this little gem... :heart:
Image
1973 BMW 2002. Taiga green, weber carb. Some kid left it at v-dubs&more, after a little man hunt i convinced the owner to sign the title over to me and i pay the mechanics bill plus storage for almost three years. I almost feel bad that i got it so cheap. Hats off to Eric at v-dubs for hooking me up!! :beer:
the best part.. New battery, check fluids pull out key that was stuck in the driver door and BANG! fired right up! Drove it around the neighborhood. :laughing:

Man, I used to have a 76, and I loved that thing. It looks fairly straight also. You will have to ask your insurance co. about collector status on that thing. I have a friend in Seattle that bought one for $2900, long story short it got totalled by his neighbor, and the ins. co. first offer was $7500!! There is one in the autofinder here in Missoula, and they are asking $10,000 for it. Nice find.
