Maintenance & Restoration

Our new TV should be picked up tomorrow. We signed the paperwork last night, and they think it will be out of the paint shop tomorrow.

So, off to FL on Xmas Eve. We signed up to party with the folks the night before on New Year's Eve. I am a grad of the College of Education, so we are going to their part of the party.

Hopefully, this new van will last until VW sees the light and lets the US (and us) buy their Amarok pickup. We saw one in Germany last summer and want one, but they don't sell it in the US and Canada.

Thanks Carl, When I reassemble the only rivets that may be used are to hold on the Boler emblem.

I checked out your paint job pictures.
That's how I knew there were no rivets.

That really is a very nice paint job. One of the best I have ever seen.

Do you know what kind of paint was used?
