Hi All,
When I think of the hours it took to replace the large panel, mid-ship behind
the drivers door, all because of a "little seam rust",
When I could have been up in the forest, sitting around a camp fire,
groovin with all the little animals;
I have to say to myself, 'self' what the heck you doin here?
If I had it to do all over again, I would have just sand blasted the seam,
resealed it, painted it,
and took sleeping pills, if necessary, so I could sleep, knowing that,
that insidious seam rust was in there, eating away at sweetie! :)
Yes, I do like to work on my bus, and Yes, Its nice to have it dependable.
But dependable is the key word here for me...
But Folks, I bought it so I could use it!
I mean Who Owns Who Here?
Help! :)
Maybe, we need to start a new subgroup that go's like this.......
Hello, My name is John, and yes,,, I`m a Vanagon addict....

I have an 83 Westy and I don't use the upper bunk.  Is
it possible to remove the pop top and install a
regular roof from a passenger Vanagon?

Happy Friday!

what would you gain from that?    too much work, and it would
make your van worth less.

cant figure the point of that..
