I've told a few of you this story before. An acquaintance of mine (his wife was a special ed teacher in Kimberley who taught our son) restores antique aircraft. He lives on St. Mary's Lake Rd. and has done a couple for the director of the lord of the rings series (an avid antique aircraft collector) including one of the famed gull winged Dornier (?) Junkers (?) aircraft. His machinist once once told me that he could reproduce almost anything given a few bolts and the plans. BTW if you have to ask how much, he won't deal with you, (usually 7 figures) and if you have to ask when it will be finished he always says, when it's finished. (typically a handful of years)

It basically shows you that ANY barndoor bus is considered restorable... I like that they saved absolutely as much as that bus possible. There are quite a few of these no hoper projects out there now that have been resurrected. I still like my VWs shiny however...

Does that mean you wouldn't take your synchro out to play in the mud like the videos Don posted Russ?

I won't be owning any Vanagon models, especially the Syncro versions. So I guess that is a "no" then... Because I have worked on so many of them, and will continue until I retire someday, they just don't interest me enough to own one. And I am very much aware of what fails on these models (everything), and the costs to fix them (lots). No thankyou...

That Barndoor makes the Forest Shed I pulled out of Nanoose look like a potential concours winner...
I read his build on one of his previous builds and it was impressive. This guy makes us all look quite sane!
