BluDestiny Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I heard about this place in Zilvia. might swing by since I'm in town now. Thing is, I can just go to the garage my friend works at after hours for the same stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Any contact info on that Brian? Those were all over the place not 20 years ago... I'd given up hope long ago they still existed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipL Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I cant imagine how my own paint job would come out to be. I m hardly satisfy the paint job come out from a shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Any contact info on that Brian? Those were all over the place not 20 years ago... I'd given up hope long ago they still existed! Apparently they're extremely common still on military bases. Local travis air field has one that is something like $20/month for a parking space outside, bring your own tools type deal. Dedicated lift spot wasn't insanely priced iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 That's part of the MWR Facilities provided by the profits gerpnerated by the on base post exchanges / commissary, etc. "Morale, Welfare, and Recreation" It's where I built my 73 while on Okinawa...at a little hole-in-the-wall Auto Hobby Shop that was adjacent to the Army Motor Pool at Torii Station. It wasn't the fanciest place, but it had everything I needed between there and the other hobby shop up the hill...where I found a beautiful South Bend Lathe...Just sitting there like new, put there in the 50's, I was the irst guy who had signed the tool set out since 'Nam (72!!!) Not your tax dollars at work, but redistribution of profits from a community back into it directly. As a Cold Warrior, the irony of fighting Communism while engaging in a Socialist-Collectivist Construct in the US Military caused no end of smirks at briefings... But I digress!

Tony D Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hahahaha! More and more people are telling me that! Having read the life chronology of John Muir (not the nature photographer, his descendant who was an engineer at Lockheed and "tuned out" to become a long-haired VW mechanic -- and wrote 'How to keep your VW alive! a step by step guide for the compleat idiot') this may be in the stars!
