Well, I did it again...

    I bought another Vanagon, this makes 9-10 in the last 10 years with
4 of them still here...

    With the new addition one has to go, so I'm delivering my '82 down
to it's new owner tomorrow

    The new beasty is an '83.5 water-cooled Westy...

    Currently has 195K on it altho the heads have been replaced ( I have
a receipt showing they were done at 119K, and fella I bought it from
says it was supposedly rebuilt again at 150-160K)

It has rust on both front doors at the handles, at the front lower
sliding door jamb, and on the drivers side below & around the utility
ports.

Luckily I have an '84 parts van with all the sections I'll need straight
and unrusted

Needs a couple new exhaust pipes, and one new brake line

New canvas at some point within last couple of years, and it was painted
a nice beige metallic (including poptop) over the OE cream yellow.

Has 4 OE Basket-style hubcaps

One really nice feature is it came with ALL the original manuals; Westy
supplement, Owner's manual, and Dometic manual, along with all the stuff
for the hardwired (and currently deactivated) Motorola cell phone.

All for the grand sum of $2300...

This does mean that at some point very soon my other '83.5 will be up
for sale...  If anyone is interested give me a shout for details...

    Thanks for listening... had to tell somebody who would understand my
excitement!
