There was a large VW swap meet & car show a few miles from my house today. About 100 cars, buss's and you name it attended along with a swap meet at the Karmann facility in the local area.

I really like the VW buss's. I'll post a few more photo's later this evening when I have more time.

I Love VW events, parts are cheap in the swap meet when you find 914 stuff. I found a few bargins & lined myself up with a secrete vendor who has a large collection of used 914 stuff he wants to get ride of cheap. He buys 914's for the short block motors used in his racing buggy's & does not want 914 stuff. More on this later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

Hi Nel & Rob,

Small world, Elk Rapids is a beautiful place. Northern MI is a truly beautiful area that is still a big secrete. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) We love the area.
Hope you guys get the tax man off your back. Keep the faith.

Tom

Now: Back to the program. Remember that $10K car on the web everyone was talking about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Nice guy who owned it & didn't care if he sells it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Lots of lookers.

Now some serious stuff. In my weaker moment I paid $20 bucks for this 2.0 Liter engine air housing complete with an alternator. It's a really nice original piece under all that grease. Do you think I can sell it for $150.00 bucks??? I also picked up some 914 wrenches, etc. cheap. I passed up lots of heavy stuff. My rule is never buy iron only the small stuff that stores well. VW meets are good places to find reasonable $$914 stuff.

No Teeners, they were at home on jack stands, including my chrome yellow one.. Mark Mathew's 3.3 six conversation blue one is still on jack stands. Hurry up Mark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I told Mark we have to have ours on the road for the August 09 Woodward Dream Cruise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
