    Bad news / Good News

    Well the bad news is I had Ashley's VX checked out today and the frame is just too badly damaged to justfy to cost of fixing it. Kind of bummed because I was wanting a diesel 5 speed VX.

    The good news is I now have a cache of VX parts that need a new home. I plan on going down Ashley's previous parts thread and contact the requestor to see if they are still interested in the requested part. The seats, door panels, console and steering wheel are all spoken for. They are being traded for custom bumpers for my Trooper.

    Feel free to PM me questions. I may start a parts thread here soon. So let the part fest begin!

    I think we can work that out! I noticed water is getting into it but the lense itself looks great.

    Sorry to hear that Greg, I was really hoping she might get another lease on life. The frame buckle was pretty severe though, taking a look at it again yesterday reminded me just how lucky we were not to be injured in the accident...

    Buffy,

    I'm interested in the rear door shell. I won't be needing any of the cladding or ancilliary items. I'd prolly drive down to pick it up. No rush though, just keep me on the list.

    How about

    The plastic engine cover plate with sponge pieces that hold it in, The clip that holds the hood prop, The Lock mechanism on the drivers door, Also several pieces of cladding if they are in good shape, windshield wipers if in good shape as well.

    If Tom gets the rear door, I would take the cladding part that he doesn't want.

    OK guys here is where I am at. I went through Ashley's original list and put all requests in a spread sheet. I enlisted Sue (VX Kat) to help me establish a baseline for some prices. I have no idea what to ask for these parts but I am all about giving my fellow VXers a good deal but at the same time help me out since I will be doing the pulling and boxing, etc. In some cases shipping will be free but on the larger items we can work something out, especially if we are talking shipping to Canada. So here's the deal, below is the list in order of who asked for what and a general going price that Sue helped out with. Make me an offer on what you want, let's talk so everyone can be happy.
