    It's really sad but THE MONEY PIT has got to go.. It was a FUN BUILD and all the support I got doing this car was tramendus.. My heart goes out to everyone that purchased my ART work to build this car.. Maybe We'll build a new one, but till that time comes this one's got to go for Medical bills.. $$14,500.00 $$ If your serious and want to buy it contact Pete and lets TALK!

    pete at 14:45 it looks like your front brake lines will rub on the arm as it goes up and down the full movement of the arm. It could be just the camera angle. You might want to check that.

    That is one fun buggy! What was it, Toyota front seats with modified support brackets? I hope you have enough seat belt coverage to stay safe. We don't won't anything to happen to My Friend Pete, as we move forward thru life journey. It took work you was willing to invest into "Money Pit" but I am sure you will get lots of fun out of it! I hope Greg Highball will see this soon and understand that what he told you was wrong except for; "it's a VW and has special shocks on it! The rest It, well is fuzzy and don't remember exactly. Just note the compression, make sure the carbs are sync and check the oil often until you get use to what it does.
    Minnie, your trip to the Holy land will be here before you know it! Getting excited? God bless that opportunity, WoW!
    Blessings guys: DK Omaha.

If you want to know what the trade out price was it was $7,500.00 in labor charges toward his other car I built for him.
