Begin forwarded message: From: monte merrick <monte@thefulcrum.org> Date: March 26, 2006 9:17:51 AM PST To: vanagon list <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Subject: general idea for cost dear all i've been lurking around this list now for about three months - (bought my first vanagon at the end of december, in the past i've had a few different beetles - loved my 67 sunroof and the 78 convertible the best) i'd like to ask a few things regarding costs - what would a fair price be for a complete brake job in the front. rotors pads calipers (this work has already been done but i just like to torment myself with what could have been) what would be a fair price for ball joints, tie rod ends and shocks and how difficult is a shifter rebuild for someone who can learn and follow intstructions but has only an outdoor parking lot to do the work. also - anyone have a line on a folding to bed rear seat for a gl - seattle area pick and pulls only have westfalia and carat and weekender style
thanks for the advice monte 84 gl
"I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travelers I have spoken to concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves." - henry thoreau "I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle dove, and am still on their trail.
