Vanagon List Members,

Life turns you upside down and shakes you like hell from time to time.

Some good, some bad ... all Life.

Enormous apologies for delaying this parts giveaway activity ....... but
I'm now ready to go .

Beginning this Friday at 9:00am PST .... I am giving away a few spare parts,
some significant, all off my 85 Westy.

Every so often, more parts will be added until they are all gone.

My hope is to see them go to the more financially challenged List Members.

For reference:
