[Vwdiesel] Found parts

[James Hansen]

Oh I second the motion.  Do I ever second the motion!

I can carry an engine. Pisses me off that you are so far away......
I know a couple other strapping farm lads that could run with a volks
engine.
Now that would be some sale   :-)))

Got any big friends that push iron? Bet them a 12 pack they can't carry an
engine off the premises....

Not to be hoggish, but you can get a second trip for another 40?  shit....
the possibilities.  Take some wire to tie the stuff together with.  Man, we
don't have yards with anything other than rusted out gassers around here.
All the diesels are on the road yet, or parked in someone's back yard
awaiting some tlc... or with fuel prices are in the garage getting some tlc
to get on the road.

Heads
Pumps
diesel instrument clusters/tach
relays, specifically glow plug relays, or the whole fuse panel for that
matter

wrecking yards with cars that have door handles ;-) Surely you jest.
Just grab it all man.
oi...

Oh my God!

Grab all of the:

Heads,
Injection pumps,
Vacuum pumps,
Injection lines,
Door Handles,

At $40 for the load, you can make a tidy profit for yourself and still
pass along the good deal to others.

I'm jealous.
