VW'S: '77 bus at this time
COMMENTS: I live appx 40 miles from intersection of Hwy 78 and Natchez Trace (Tupelo), if
you need help, I'll do what I can. Live 4 miles from hwy 78, at Myrtle, MS. I live in the
"sticks" so if you need a place to park camper, no problem. Have some tools
(what I haven't lost or lent)Have worked on most type VW engines, but mostly a long time
ago. Haven't been back into them long enough to have accumalated any parts. A friend of a
friend owns a Foreign AP store in Tupelo that carries VW stuff, but very little for buses,
no 2L at all. Don't own a Westy, so if that's your only interest, I don't have one for you
to admire. Sorry, no spare room, house is much too small now. If are broken
down for long term, should be able to find somewhere to park bus for at least a few days,
if close enough to my house to get it here, can leave for as long as you need. WARNING-if
emergency, I use answering machine to screen calls, and it is usually set to four
rings-please speak clearly and slo!
wly, explain your situation, don't hang up so fast because we may be standing there
figuring out what the call is about. You may want to call back immediately, if you're not
out of change.
