1973 VW Thing Restoration - Part 6 | Traded the Thing for a Porsche
Well with the Thing basically complete, I ended up finding someone that wanted to trade. I trade the Thing for a 2005 Posche Boxster S w/6 speed manual. Overall the car is in good shape for it age and mileage. I have a few little items to take care of and then we'll see what happens to it......Sell or trade...who knows??

    You have some skills for sure! I'm no expert but I would think with that kind of water system for the sink and again I know you said you won't use it much probably but nonetheless instead of a Walter accumulator tank I'm thinking a better option would have been water Anti-hammering devices because of the way those pumps kick on and off based on their pressure sensors?

      It seems tempting but that makes things difficult just start designing and fantasizing in your head and then put that into a very very very simple and rough floor plan with the elevation parts off the floor plan in your head and start building it will come to you as you go alonggetting started is the hardest part but once you make that first cut you're off to the races!
