I live in Charleston SC.home of the former vw shop this fellow "bought
out"...............his "buying out" consisted of grabbing all the stuff that
was lying around because the owner that inherited the business was kicked
out (original owner of the shop was 80+ year old fellow in business 40+
years....grandson inherited and drove it into the ground).

Apparently he has access to a bead blast machine, for all the heads, blocks,
etc sat out in a field for years............
