Hi folks,<br>
<br>
FWIW I visited the Carson City Pick-N-Pull today with a friend.&nbsp; We
pulled a trans for my 87 GTI and a rear axle for his rabbit truck.<br>
<br>
Not a lot of VW's in the yard, but a 68 westy very picked over, still
had good-looking NLA trans mount there and icebox unit (looked ok but
the rest of the cabinets were trashed to remove the bed)&nbsp; all the
suspension and brakes intact.&nbsp; poptop hinges there but poptop gone.&nbsp; <br>
<br>
Also a '79 passenger bus, straight nose, sliding door parts and slider
windows, trans gone, FI engine almost complete--AFM opened up, dizzy
gone but all the rest (S boot, throttle body, egr valve, AAR, injectors
etc intact, CSV busted)--heat exchangers toast but decent crossover
pipe w/egr good and cat (shhh) and muffler (tailpipe broken off).&nbsp; did
not see a cali sticker so not sure what it is, also didn't look for the
ecu.&nbsp; i pulled the timing scale for my 73 project. . . <br>
<br>
however, Adam told me he saw another bay bus being towed into the yard
for disposal, and on our way back on 50 W we saw a late model westy
vanagon (87-90?) on a flatbed heading to the yard--I think it was the
dark blue/gray color--with a horrific frontal impact that most likely
is the one from this tragic story:&nbsp; <b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tinyurl.com/6k2uju">http://tinyurl.com/6k2uju</a>.</b><br>
<br>
Sad story but if there's anything needed from the first 2 or the 2
additional buses that will be out in the yard soon please let me know.&nbsp;
I will be back there within the next 30 days to return my trans core.&nbsp;
also cool stuff there is a 55 Desoto and a '67? MGB-GT fastback.<br>
