Merlin - I guess that means that we'll be SoCal neighbors, yes? If so, be sure to look me up down here in San Clemente!
thanks for your kind assistance merlin. You will be missed and hopefully st charles can find someone even half as helpful as you.

Merlin is DEFINITELY the best!! He has been an ENORMOUS help in my restoration process over the last couple of years. I've spent thousands with him lol....
But... Merlin + Tesla = AWESOME SAUCE
I have no doubt at all both he and Tesla will love the new partnershipit's a perfect fit!
On a different note however... I just spoke with Phil about a couple of parts that have been on backorder for a while. Also I have ordered a part (front foam piece next to the radiator) and the part that arrived had the correct part numbers and all that, but the part in the bag was NOT the correct part. Phil gave me the normal speech about parts availability... "well we all knew this was inevitable... where parts are becoming more and more scarce..." but beyond that Phil said "especially for the last 6 months, Isuzu has been discontinuing many parts in the massive amounts". He said it has been very noticeable and is happening at a very fast rate. He said several parts related to each other will go into "discontinued" status at the same time now as opposed to the "one here and there" going discontinued...
Man this sucks... I'm just a couple of months away from driving my DREAM CAR... my totally refurbished/rebuilt/modded from hell VEHICROSS that took 2 damn years of not driving... and then when I get it all together... I have to make sure no one EVER gets close to me on the road lol maaaan..... what a life lol
but you know what... it's still all worth it...

I would love to adapt the electric/battery technology in the Teslas into the VX for an electric conversion... that would be sweeeeeeet![]()
Congrats Merlin. Really a smart move; we wish you all the best. Now all we VXer's need is an Isuzu dealer like Stoddard of Ohio for Porsche 356 to pick up the VX charge. It's not a far leap, just look at the recent publicity for Simon Cox's move to Infiniti, it's all salutes to his VX work. Now we need is an another dealer to go hog wild for the VX and the parts will be there for us.
Hey everyone, I never had the chance to work with Merlin, but I think I spoke to Phil for a couple parts recently. I got the "backorder" response but when I called my local shop they said I could get the same parts either same day or within a few days (not months) They might be worth a call. Www.chapmanchevy.com I got my regulator and window gasket from them...and my windows work great (thanks to SBC too)
