If you weren't 10 hours away, me and a couple of friends would have been there. I know, that doesn't help any though.

Do you have a wagon suspension pump for sale? I saw you stripped an '80. I'm in no big hurry - get the town off your back first, then we can talk.

Good luck!

thanks,
yes, I have two.

Any pics of the yard now???

What do you have left to be stripped?

vstech · #**304** 12-05-2011, 08:21 AM

I post pics up as soon as I take them, they are in the pics link on the first post.
I'm down to pulling drive train from two SD's, and gutting an 85 EURO wagon.

vstech · #**305** 12-05-2011, 08:24 AM

oh, and unloading my partially converted 4speed turbodiesel and pulling the guts out of my 95TE...

HELP!!!! ME!!!!!

this is the final crusher countdown..

John needs physical, in person help = people breaking up vehicles.

Everyone that has arrived in person to help, has gone away

The last two weeks of his time limit he may be forced to bring in day labor to hack up everything that is remaining = no saving parts.

How many cars are left?

John-

have you thought about hiring a lawyer to do something to buy you time? maybe suing the city or protesting something...anything to buy you more time?

vstech · #**309** 12-06-2011, 06:22 AM

I am just going to push forward and get the vehicles moved, I'm not trying to get out of it,
if I have time, I'll push to move some to another location, and finish stripping them one at a time, but I'd MUCH rather they got done in my yard!!!
Thanks for everybody's help I've already gotten, and THANK YOU to everybody still able to assist!

vstech · #**310** 12-06-2011, 08:24 PM

arrgh, today's weather along with critical issues in my business kept me from getting anything done today... and it was overcast, and 72°F most of the day...

Moving vehicles is a good idea.
You need access to a large old enclosed barn for a short time.

Your free to bring them here. I know it's a drive but I have 4 acres and would store them for you. I could then part them for you or hold them until you wanted them. It would give you and option for a few cars. I can only tow one with my truck since I don't have a car trailer, but you could follow me back with your rig.

I would do this free as a return for all the great help I've gotten from you since I've been on the boards. I've specifically used several of your write-ups to fix quite a few issues with my own cars.

I meet with Twalgramuth on Sat to get the interior from him, then I could head your way.

Junkman · #**314** 12-07-2011, 10:47 AM

FWIW, You're 6 hours away but could store all you have.

)
