Hmmm a BJ 70 in a barn next to a boat.... the guy clearly has issues. I bet he's a dodgy f*cker. LOL. ************

When I saw you replied to the thread I thought you were going to say you bought it so you had something get out wheeling with again. :D

No, just poking the dragon.

If a rusty BJ 70 came up cheap I'd go for it. 12V 3B(5bearing), H55 etc.... good trucks for bits and pieces.
 
me not selling the VW should have been a clue....


I am a shameless capitalist pig. What can I say.


(although I was hoping to keep it on the DL....so thanks fawker.:flipoff2:)


Not gonna cry if it doesn't go, price is rather speculative...:lol:, it's a fun little s***ter, I'm just at the point where I want to ad 31's a turbo and a ladder rack, bumpers etc, and really, am I gonna spend all that time effort and money on a fawking datsun? If it doesn't sell, maybe.

I've had lots of trade offers, but nothing I really want. May have to throw a few casts towards cruisers that are lingering on the market...:hillbilly:
 
Bahahahah. No way.

I just searched "Passat tdi" on used vic and was pretty sure I'd find them both on there. Thought you might be leaving the heard thinning to chance. Clearly the Kraut-mobile is a little closer to your heart than you'd like to admit. Besides, if you sold it what would you do with all the new tools you bought to fix the thing with?!

Clearly we are cheap SOBs, cause my vw is one of my most favourite cars other than my BJ42, which may or may not become a dailey driver....But the shear fuel economy of the volksy is so nice....

New tools just for the vw? Kidding right?

but nah. just seems like time for a cruiser again.

may still keep the vw and just do weekends with cruiser. just makes no sense to burn 3x the fuel going to work....

Hate to agree with you:moon:
 
Ya Robbie,
Tell yourself whatever you have to to..... that 30 second commute to work must be a real motherf'er without a TDI. :flipoff2:

Still I like to see a few weeks go by before I have to fill up, she barely gets fully warmed up by the time I get to work... And thinking about moving to our rental house and cutting the commute down to 20 seconds....

I like to save all my money and buy a 120 dollar shop light, these little things really make me happy..:worms::clap:

Are you slumming now? I thought only 300 dollar lights were good enough for you?


A guy sortof offered me a trade plus cash for an hj60....but naaah. IF (ooh, these are big ifs...) I do decide to keep the vw as a DD, then my cruiser doesn't need to be nearly as civilized as that. Mel has wanted us to have an 80 for years, but finding a diesel that will move something with the crushing mass of a collapsed sun and get still half decent mileage is a pain.

The red 68 on CL looks pretty good. Despite it's spark plug infestation. We'll see. Carts before horses etc.

2F Gasser, frame looked there at a glance, $800
 
Now that looks like a candidate for an attempt at a 60 series pick up conversion. I can only imagine the
rear hatch and lower gate were as bad looking as the rest.
 
Body did look rough.

Did look like one I'd seen here before... Not a expert on 60 frames, been 20+ years since I had an up close look at one.
