Panelfantastic's old Panel on ebay???

[Panelfantastic]

Hey Jon. It's Kiestler (pronounced Key-st-lur).

It's not entirely bad. The guy that asked the conversion question in the auction for his Tiger, did get my email from Jim. I have been able to help with some contacts and info. I'm sure all the Sunbeam fanatics are going insane . I'm thinking I should change my last name to Ketzer !

Panel,
I was fortunate to have seen your van and was very impressed with your creativity, skill and handiwork.
I must tell you that I also admire your response (or lack thereof) to the advert - it speaks volumes about you.

Remeber guys - What goes around comes around!!!

a Ecotec in a SBT! AH!! NO!!!!! get a MGB to stick a Eco in! I love engine swaps, but A Sunbeam Tiger is just one of those cars you don't mess with!

I am about to swap a SR20DET and the 5-Speed into a 66 Datsun Roadster! FUN!!


Man you got my panties in a bunch for a sec! you said Tiger. I read the questions and he said alpine.... Yeah its "close" to a tiger, but not really! A Eco in that is fine!

do you know for certain that he got your address from the new owner? when i wrote the sunbeam guy however many days ago to tell him you were the builder and he could read about it on here, he asked for ways to get in touch with you so i gave him your email address.

not that it's a big deal, but no need to give credit to the turd if he didn't earn it, ya know?

[Panelfantastic]

Oh wow, I had no idea Dave. Thanks for doing that! It's definate B S that Jim couldn't at least have done what you did.


Sorry Jon! Didn't mean to throw you a scare! Guess I had Tiger on the brain, we got one I see locally but it's a pityful mess. We've even got a couple nice bugeyes running around... odd to see these in this neck of the woods.

i just thought you deserved credit for your work and you weren't getting it, so i wanted that guy and anyone else to know who the real builder was. it sucks that you sold the bus, for what i consider a steal, and he respects you this little.

people suck sometimes, but i guess that's part of life.

[davetaylor]

on a more positive note... how's the beetle coming? or is there a thread on its progress?

[Panelfantastic]

Unfortunately back burner. Lots of ideas and plans but other priorities right now. I really want to take this next project to a new level. I hope to have news later this summer.

again...props, props, props and a bowdown to Panel for the most awesome van i have ever seen...and was nearly in my garage had timing been different.

i don't think it a requirement that the seller indicate he did not personally perform all of the work, but at the same time he shouldn't be wording it so loosely that it leaves you with the impression he did it all. he should be listing the specs and leaving at that as a minimum.

looks like all of those words couldn't even bring him one bid though. if he can get that cash, more power to him. would just be an indicator that the value of custom VWs is going up which is not a bad thing for the people hear who are the ones building them, not buying. that said, he will never get $23k for it.
