Fellows and fellaws:
Hello back after some time off to expend with my family (and because I went
deaf-mute at home, no phones line).
Last week I tried to make a sudden stop behind an adolescent in a Nissan
Pathfinder at a stop light.  Front left caliper blew-up and I loose all
braking pressure, so I kiss the kids ass.  There was not too much damage to
the front except for the lower apron, and the lower grill, and the side
lights, and the front chrome bumper, and that the A/C condenser hit the
radiator which was rusted and opened in three different places, and that
the gear box moved a couple of centimeters back and know it is harder to
turn the wheel, the rest is fine.  I took the opportunity to take off the
full A/C system since it hasn't work for the last 4 years.  I have expended
something around $500.00 already and no body work has been done.  The
Pathfinder's fix is something around $1,300.00.

Now, I'm looking for the front lower grill and the lights.  I can't pay new
prices right now so they better be cheap or free for the shipping.  Any
volunteers.

By the way, I was in Allentown PA for ten hours on June 22, got to see
something like 5 Vanagons and Westfalias.  I wrote down the tag numbers,
but loose he paper.  Three of them were around a small store someplace near
7th.  St. (across the street from J.C.Penney's).  The only one being roll
was a wine colored ('86 to '89) with a young couple aboard.  Chris, I
declare Allentown, Vanagon capital on your behalf.
