It was the minimalist "style" of the Bavarian personnel carriers, the
Pinzgauers used at Canyon de Chelly to take tourists into the canyon that I wanted Phoebe to emulate. Any extraneous plastic got stripped off and tossed. It made working on her easier but not very salable. I mean, there just aren't that many Pinzgauer-wannabe enthusiasts looking to buy a '96 Tracker that looks (at least on the inside) sortof like a personnel carrier.
Lucky Herrmann was checking Craigslist and found a guy in Los Angeles who has recently made himself a business selling Tracker & Samurai parts. And on top of it, he has a friend, also named Mike, in Las Cruces who may help put the pieces back together. (The door latch mechanisms are real booger-bears.)
So, we're on the way to getting Phoebe ready for her next adventure.
