Need to Borrow 4 Beetle Rims/Tires

« on: March 07, 2015, 12:04:37 PM »
I need to pull what's left of Joy's convertible out of what's left of the garage before 7:30 AM tomorrow morning.  I've got a guy coming with a back hoe to knock the rest of the walls and roof down.  We decided first thing Sunday morning was the best time due to traffic . . . the end of the garage that is still standing sits on sidewalk on South Main Street.  Although I don't think it would hurt Sunny to drop a wall and roof down on top of him, I think it will make the job easier if it wasn't there.  I've got lots of Beetle rims, but since the fire, none of them have tires on them.  If someone has a set 4 lug rims with tires they could loan me for a day or two, I'd really appreciate it.  The rims don't have be straight and the tires only need to hold air for a few minutes at a time.

Also, if anyone wants to try to salvage any VW parts from the rubble, come get it.  Most of the parts are scrap, but there is a lot of good type 1 tin that could be cleaned up and re-used.  There might even be a few rebuildable heads if you wanted to try to dig them out.

My backhoe guy changed his mind about tomorrow morning when he realized the time change happens Sunday morning.  He said there might not be enough time between daylight and when the church traffic started trying to get in the alley, so he came over this afternoon and knocked it down for me.  He drug Sunny backwards onto the concrete pad on the cremated end of the garage.  Now the fun begins.  I gott'a clean all this crap up.

I'm in the final stages of clean-up of the old debris.  I really need to get Sunny back up on his feet so I can roll him around.  I need to purchase a CHEAP set of 4 lug Beetle rims with tires that will hold air for a day or two at a time.  Tread?  What's that.  Out of ballance, out of round, slightly warped, mismatched?  Who cares?  Not me!  I just need something that's somewhat round and will hold air.  And cheap.  Gott'a be cheap.

Where does Stupie reside these days?  Did he make the move to Ringgold or is he still in "The Triangle?"

The starter is out on my truck.  I haven't had much time to work on it lately . . . and I still can't shake this headache.  I spent the morning and most of the afternoon in the ER at Memorial.  The drugged me up and said go see my Dr.
