Subject:Free Vanagon and Diesel parts.
From:Martin Jagersand

Dear all,

When I moved to Edmonton I couldn't bring everything.
My housemate Darius is now also moving and the new people may not
be as tolerant about having VW parts laying around.

The stuff has already been picked through, but what's left is about
4 cuFt of misc VW Diesel and Vanagon parts. From what I know (and remember)
there is stuff like:
  Water pump 40mm
  Water pump housing
  Vanagon Diesel big diam filler neck (to fit truck size filler nozzles)
  one or two vaccum pumps, vane type.
  vngn D oil pump
  Various Diesel engine brackets, pulleys and other takeoff stuff.

Note: None of the rare stuff (ie cast alt bracker, vngn D motor mounts,
bellhousings etc) remains.

Darius will put the stuff out by the mailbox today (Sat). To get it
drive to 4210 Clarkdale Rd, Baltimore, MD.

Directions:
Exit I83 onto Coldspring Ln west.
Drive up the hill,
turn left at 2nd traffic light onto Greenspring
Continue uphill.
Just before the crest turn left into the forest on Derby ave
Go down a curvy road .5mi. At the end is a paved clearing
The parts will be in a movers box by the black mailbox in the
southeast corner of the clearing.

While I know from experience that some people get very excited
to get free stuff I hope the list can exercise some thought and
restraint in handling this. (I've previously been asked to drive
1h "to meet halfway" to deliver a free part, or figure out how to
mail 10ft long free coolant pipes when the posting indicated pick
up only.) Remember: I'm 3000 miles away and my friend has nothing
to do with the parts.

So I suggest that the first person who really needs the parts,
posts to the list that he will take them, and then *really* picks
them up.

Happy VW-ing,
Martin
