If you are willing to rip and strip, send him a PM.

I guarantee he will accept help any day, time of day may be limited to 3-4 hours Monday through Friday.

He is eager to have HELPING HANDS tearing these cars apart.

Paging Mr Hack and Mr Slash...

John did you ever decide about the guage cluster for the 93 TD re my Pm Cheers Dan

vstech · #**169** 09-30-2011, 11:50 AM

sorry dan, I've not had time to think about much.
I have the cluster, I'll have to find it actually. *(it's in the house though, so shouldn't be hard to find.)

see the trailer in the after pic? that thing is 24" tall walls, and it's 5' x 12'. it and my pickup were TOTALLY packed with the trash in the first pic...

and EVERYBODY that comes only needs to concern themselves with tearing down cars, Me and my brother will be getting the mess cleaned. so Please don't think that will be any chores needed!

All I asked for was the over view garage roof picture.

If you send the pictures to me, I can post them for you = save your time.

Stretch · #**171** 09-30-2011, 03:26 PM

Judging by the "&feat=email" bit at the end of your link John I think you've got the security set to only allow people with an email link access to the photographs. I think you need to change the settings.

yeah, I know, but the cars are strewn all over my 1.6 acre yard, and very few can be seen from any one location...

I've decided to just upload all the pics I take of the yard, and progress as it unfolds.
I will be focusing on the cars that get taken apart, as well as the ones still left to sell and part out, but the entire project will get uploaded to the picassa account. I'm going to start taking pics of the help I get too!!! I meant to, when members came down, but did not have time.

Army, I know it looks like only email access is allowed, and I cannot find the spot to make the pics public...
arrgh...

UPDATE!
I fixed the link, it works now.

Wow John there's a lot of work still to be done. Are you sure you can't get me that free airline seat so I can come and help?(!)

That pick up looks awesome...

He would be afraid of you trying to smuggle a whole car/truck back on the plane.

Yeah you've got a point!

I was thinking that I haven't been particularly clear.

I'm in a cash poor time rich situation here so I can help but it is a question of getting there.

My father in law lives in Singapore and the US and spends a lot of time flying between the two places for free! He seems to know the right airline employees who happen to have spare free tickets...

...I'm thinking a situation like that would be great! I'm not suggesting that any individual puts their hand in their pocket - I don't want it to cost anyone real hard earned money. I'm kind of thumbing for a lift there and back. For example I'd be happy to fly (fixed wing) military if it could be arranged I've got warm clothes!

You are making great progress John.

It looks as if as you have said, the junk was the real problem. Chances are that the city could only nail you on the cars & so that is why they are doing it.
I have about 400X the size back yard. A couple of big sheds make it easy to hide stuff & the nearest neighbor is a couple of miles away.

I would love to help you out but like Army, distance is a problem.
You are welcome to quote me as the owner of any of stuff that the authorities are up tight about. Just say this crazy guy from Australia owns it, he is comming back to get it !!! Cant see them extraditing me !! lol

Good Luck with your progress !!

yeah, my little brother has been using my house as a unloading spot for scrap he collects from my other little brother... he's been "gonna clean it up" for nearly a year... my favorite line from him is when he makes a mess, or breaks something, "no problem, I'll take care of that" and as far as I can tell, to him the problem is taken care of... REALLY odd man. of course, I've not FORCED him to handle it with consequences... the blue truck is for sale, but it's not mine, and I'm towing it back into the owner's yard.
the big ford van is not mine, and I've made a few phone calls to get it back to the owner...
the gold maxima is not mine, it's my little brother's and he's working on getting it registered.
everything else is mine... and it's ALL gotta go! I can fit one more car in my shop, the two 87's have a parking home in a buddy's driveway, and the 240 5Speed, is ok with the city because it's got a car cover on it. but I'm only allowed ONE car to be under cover if it's not registered.
so that gold 85 Euro TD has to go.
that Brown 85 Sedan with no drive train has to go (funola is contemplating getting it with me swapping his drive train into it)
the green SD has to go
the silver SD has to go
the two ivory 240's have to go.
the black 93 300D without doors have to go.
the two suburbans have to go
the 72 travelall is sold, but not paid for yet. only a deposit is made
the 69 firebird has to go
the one astro van will go to the repair garage at the top of the street for engine swap
the other astro van has to go
the 86 C20 pickup with the 6.5 block in 6.2 trim has to go
the 95TE has to go
the 85 jetta rabbit will fit in the garage.
my 67 Camaro RS needs to have the carport enclosed...

How much for the

?

vstech · #**179** 10-01-2011, 11:48 PM

it belongs to my neighbor, and I'm moving it back into her yard sometime next week,
if you have any idea on it's value, I think she is wanting to sell it. it's got hitch recievers on both ends of the truck, and it's got two transfer cases... I think it's a 1.5 ton truck, small engine from what I hear, but lots of gears... PM me and I'll forward any offers you have to the owner.

pwogaman · #**180** 10-02-2011, 12:09 AM

That's a cool looking truck.
