**Notice** Viejas Indian Tribe gives money to its members from your gambling dollars, thereby allowing unemployed spoiled brats to buy large trucks, drive erratically through your neighborhood and destroy your vehicles, and the best part is, unless you have great insurance to cover it,because they most likely do not, they're totally protected under tribal law and the tribal government won't help you out at all. Mrs. Shontae Carrizosa totalled my VW Thing and has made almost no attempt to compensate me, Viejas just told me I'm out of luck. Join me and boycott Viejas.

This here is a 1973 VW Thing that I bought from my Uncle. It was originally yellow, and has been repainted black and green.
These pics are from when I got it, me and my girlfriend drove it to the front of their house, and immediately stripped the carpet out and vacuumed it out so it's not quite as nasty as the photo's show. I have done lots of work to it since,and just put some new pics, they are near the bottom.

Snapped a few more pics and figured it would be prudent to add them on here since it's on ebay now.

Well, tonight (5-23-07) a serious accident happened which has pretty much resulted in the death of my VW. A GMC suburban or whatever and a toyota tundra smacked each other in front of my home and the Tundra smacked my lil VW before hitting the telephone pole. The whole front end is done, no clue how much it would be to repair, but I was selling it, and when the insurance calls... SOLD!!!!

My sympathy goes out to you... Same goes here for Old "Respectable" residents. Had a seventy-five year old *ss try to kill me and the cops didn't even give him a ticket... my lawyer sold me out because seeing as I remembered the song that was playing, when I thought I was going to DIE, means I was apparently to preoccupied with the radio to make my car grow wings and hop the b*stard cutting me off with a long body Lincoln. Oh no... it was deemed his fault, not mine, but somehow, I got the short end of the stick. Doc says my back is only going to get worse and I will have to retire by thirty-five but who cares, right? Tis Not Their Problem. We should start a Gang and wipe out them self righteous schmucks.

Looks like your Thing is in pretty good condition! They're not too easy to find parts for, very much like my Squareback, but it looks like you have it all there. Keep us updated on how it comes together.Check out my '71 VW Squareback when you get the chance.
