I hope to be back on Tuesday!

Any of the ones that are left driveable? Got a list?

everything drivable is claimed already.
except the 87300D... and it's in FINE shape, so the price is not cheap.

My drivers:

1987 300TD
2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500 158"WB
1994GMC 2500 6.5Turbo truck... I had to put the ladder somewhere!

I take it the 87 is not going to the crusher if not claimed? I'm almost tempted, but I probably shouldn't be buying anymore cars right now.

Oh good. I remember you saying it was Bodhi's twin ... my car would probably have an identity crisis if I brought it home!
Wish I could come down and help but it's a little too far to drive in the one day I have free this week.

OK, WE, (ngarover and I... mostly ngarover) have TOTALLY stripped the glass and interior from the 85euro TD, he got the tailgate, and most of the interior parts, also PLENTY of other things... More plugging along today... fun.

we pulled the engines/trannys out of the two 83SD's and pulled them into position to load on the truck when I get it unloaded. we also installed a spare rear subframe under the 95TE so it can be loaded on the trailer... 6 days left...

I hurt... I think I found new places in my body that I didn't even know hurt. LOL. It was a real pleasure meeting you and spending time working on your cars, Tim and Eric seem to be really cool guys to hang around also. If you were not 6 hours away from my you would never get rid of me! On my way home I was informed that my father in law got me a tow dolly for 50 bucks... errrr.. a little late. Oh well, it will come in handy in the future I'm sure.

I got there and stripped the euro TD... and I mean striped. I left the windshield and the glass in the front doors in to protect the dash and the extra cool AFTERMARKET A/C... why again didn't I just bring that car home?

I left the perfect condition black leather back seat, The door panels, regulators, the 2 complete manual rear window assm. out and ready to put into something else. So there are quite a few parts still available from the car.

I did not pull the dash since I did not want to mess with the A/C system. That needs to be documented correctly as to how it was installed for others to hopefully be able to copy.

I tried to sneak away with the white 5 speed with the euro red int...

Anyways, I hope I was a help. Maybe I'll get a change to trek your way in the future. Thanks for the great parts that will help make my ride even nicer.

the BIG truck and little trailer are empty now, ($$$ at the scrap yard!!!) I'll fill with more junk, and scrap. I'll try to get the 95 wagon, and one of the SD's loaded today, perhaps get the E300 unloaded, and load up the 87D for a ride...

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

... I think their defense would be : YOU chose to haul this stuff yourself... not us. you could have hired wreckers to remove your stuff...

And your response could be with what?

People don't work for free...

But anyway - take it easy with the pain killers John. The same brand is sold here but it has about 5% of the effect of that good s**** you can get in America. Surprisingly, even though this if Holland, we have to go to France to get the more serious stuff without prescriptions - may be that's why they've semi-legalised soft drugs here

I dont know how your digestive system copes John !!
Recipe for serve stomach ulcers !!!
You need to change to Mobic tabs ~ 1 x 15mg tab a day, can go on taking for years with no problems. prescription from Dr required over here.

When the guy comes back in a few days, if he is not happy, maybe you can get him to walk around & identify each item (car) that must be removed. Sounds like he has not done that yet. You could mark any such item with a spray of paint. Blame it on misunderstandings as he has just made a blanket determination. If necessary borrow some sets of plates so a few cars look registered. Sounds like he cant touch cars that are registered.
Good Luck over the next few days !!!!!
