Subject:'80 Westfalia: have to replace master brake cyl and brake shoes in back
From:phil hans

Hi everyone,

I do think I will do this job myself.  I mentioned
what the mechanic was going to do for $1K, but I'm not
sure I included all he said the van was in need of.
The mechanic is very reputable on the Eastside of
Seattle.  I do have lots of good tools and the Bentley
and Idiot books, and others.

My problem is getting a place where, over the course
of 1, 2 or 3 days I can do this job here in Seattle.
Does anyone know a place, a garage, where you can pay
a fee to do work on a car (like in the movie
"Christine" [worth seeing, by the way; Steven King's
first work.])?  Where I live, on the Eastside of
Seattle, I cannot do the work.

Or, if there is some nice person on the Westfalia list
here in Seattle with some room, where I can pay you a
some fee
[$50, $75?] to let me do the work at your place where
you have enough room for a job like this :-).

Thanks everyone,
Phil
'80 Westfalia.
