Sadly No I do not have one yet. I came home after work to find my 40' walnut
tree up rooted and laying in my yard. Took my suburban into town to the body
shop for the panels that Im copying and for a few sheets of paleling im
using, 6 blocks from the shop my steel rear brake line blows out due idiot
drivers and rust luckily I got stopped and didn't hit any one or blow
through the busy intersection, after investigation at the body shop what my
problem was I entered the shop to check progress on my westy, It hadn't been
touched in over a week since I was there last and our trip is planned
starting next friday and still the rusted out seam drivers side wasn't done
yet or even prepped for primer and paint its been there since february !!!
After my horrific discovery of lack of progress of body work I scrambled to
repair the brake line, without the correct tools or parts available and an
hour of effort I gave up called AAA I totally forgot to grab my bentley or
the pieces needed to figure out the correct part number before the shop
closed after I returned the tools borrowed in my attempt to repair the
brakes. To top it off after that it took 5 hours to get myself and the
suburban home, 3 hours waiting for the flatbed and not able to get the
paneling material needed. I do need some help getting that part before the
trip to do the best I can keeping my word to my 5 yr old daughter for the
trip hopefully the bodyshop will have it ready for me to pick up tuesday
tomke this possible. Yes i still need that part. Its the hose that goes from
the gas cap asmbly to the steel fill tube 82 diesel westy thanks!!!
