Hi Mark
I use to go to Ecology and pick a part at Brown field. Use to pull
Split window bus barts in the 80s and 90s. Bays all over the place.
Now the last time I was down there it was there found only a 2 Bays,
6 Vanagons. This was in 05. I've found with finding parts it has
become easier to just go on line. Vintage vws are becoming garage
kept so less on the roads. Same with any other Auto of Vintage.
