ACVW Spares Cornucopia...

Post by AKG1600 »

Greetings;

I came across a plethora of ACVW spares at the weekend. Bodies (bugs, split windows etc), rims, cooling tins, bumpers etc etc. I spoke to the owner and he's agreed to give me an inventory of all his spares. For members who are interested.

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

That ambo looks to be in better nic than mine. It would be a shame to see it riped apart.

However if that's going to be it's fate and the the hole in the border post is found, I'd love that rear tailgate door. I've been looking for one of those for eeeever.

I'm putting together an inventory over the next day or so with prices. I'll post the full list as soon as I have it.

Holes in the border fence are plentiful, but I would suggest one manipulates the 'the system' as opposed to avoiding it. We're in Africa gents. One only need 'make a plan'. Nudge nudge wink wink...
