hello to all... this is sara and demian here, entering into westy ownership
for the very first time... and very excited about it. we acquired our new
(to us) westy through eric, who signed off on the list today... and have
made our way to this list via his advice. so thank you, eric... because
we're going to need all the help we can get!
(we already replaced the original 8-track, and the drive belt. things are
going well!)
thanks so much to eric for extending us ownership of the '80 westy, and his
consideration...

we'll be seeing you.
sara & demian

Well, due to a number of events that have taken on a life of their own I am
Westyless.  I have temporarily replaced my 80 Westy with
a 1973 GMC classic.  (http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/7409/gmc.html).  It
kind of looks like the big brother to a split window.
So with regrets I sign off this wonderful list which has made these past
three
years of westy ownership very enjoyable and easy.  My Westy
never let me down, gave me  great memories, was virtually trouble free, easy
to
work on when need be, and had a certain feel and smell about it that my kids
and
I will always remember.

My plan is to use this GMC for a little while, then sell and get a
syncro-westy
( or at least one with a/c and heat - my family is a little picky).

So if you see a big yellow RV cruising down the road waving, it's only me.
And
if a Sara & Demian show up on this list, please welcome them in as I was.
They
are good people.

Thanks again.
