Spent my lunch today looking over a lime green THING sitting out in front of a body shop in Holland. It's for sale and was in excellent conditions. I don't know much about Things.
It had a bolt on roll cage and a soft top under a cover so I din't see it's condition.
This was clearly restored with a solid painted pan. I couldn't find any rust other than some blead through on the front and rear suspension. It had a 1641cc engine with alternator. Very clean looking and painted block and fan.
Sheet metal was excellent. New lime green paint all around.
There's no windows in the doors. Is that right? ODO read 85K
Price tag said 15K OBO.
Vanity plate said "DaThing"

If it is the one i'm thinking of he was at the Fall Bug Run 2008. He took first and Dad took second.

My dad just told me about this one when he got home. Sounds like the one from the Bug Run and also wasn't it at the Metro Cruise last year?

It was totally restored/ built last year or so. He parked next to Ruffuss at the Metro Cruise and like Steve said took 1st at the fall Bug Run 08' and we talked for quite awhile. He also has other Classics but I don't remember what he has. It is clean!!!! and also has a homebuilt boat carrier for on top of roll bar, very niffy. Kenn
