Another of my 412's arrived (well, actually I had to go get it...):



Heinous pillar rust (ouch! parts car?):



Gonna run out of room soon...

Let me say say this...... I'm jealous!!

That is a very cool collection of Type 4s, and in a very cool facility. You've got what I hope to have someday....

Tuna

Hehe, thanks. It's a rare convergence of circumstances that has allowed me to do this, one of which is very cheap property in this area. If I was in Cali, I'd probably be living in a van down by the river! I hope more serious work on the cars can start in the next 6-9 months- praying to the federal reserve gods that the economy holds up for awhile longer...

Very cool pic indeed! You must really like the Coupés

That pillar rust is very ..euh...drastic. Never seen that before. One would almost think its a sunroof leak (if it were a sunroof model which I think it isn't).

Thanks,
Walter

Damn dude you should have PMed me and told me you were running down, we could have met up and had an awful waffle!

Still got one more to get. I made a banzai run down there and had very little extra time. I am definitely worn out. Next time, I am going to try to make some plans to take a long weekend, then we could have an awful waffle (not sure what that is, but I likes me a good cheap breakfast?).

I think were gonna have to give you a limit!









Pay no attanention to me, I'm just jealous at your collection and the amount of room you have to store them.

We have a near perfect condition 412 in are bone yard in Boise. Maybe you need it?

Ah, I was thinking that might be it!

nice collection

Wow, that's some nice digs for a car guy!! I wouldnt be able to leave and you'd find me asleep under a 412,lol!! That rust does look like it would be from a sunroof! Think it was just from condensation inside running down the inside liner and roof? If you want to part from a manual gear box without the bell housin I'd help you out with that parting and some good bucks! I doubt you would want to part with that kinda thing but keep me in mind! I just wonder if its even shipable via usps or ups? thx Bill

It just so happens that I have what you need. What do you think a fair price is? I'll check on the shipping.

Hey Uber, wow that sounds sweet! I wonder how much shipping will be? I was hoping the bell housing came off and would make it alot lighter and cheaper to ship! I dont know how much it should cost man! Maybe once you get a ship est. we can figure that out! Thanks again! Bill

Well, the 4spd. transaxle has 2 parts, the rear section is the bellhousing and contains the final drive, while the forward section has the gears. Ray says you can swap these sections between transaxles. I have that spare transaxle with the corroded bellhousing and broken front plate, but since everything turns smoothly, I suspect the gear section is good still. I will have to open up the access plate to check that everything is at least visually OK.
