Joel:
I was just setting up to send you the info on my 4 vanagons 86-91 to
help fill out your database, and was thinking of making up a grid/
spreadsheet to make it more orderly.
Then I thought "well, DUH! there's lotsa guys on this here list that
have a lot better skills at this kinda stuff than I do, and why should I
keep all this fun to myself?"
IOW, Somebody else want to do this? somebody with more skill than me?
Also, maybe  you'd want some other data, like: miles before first
transmission failure, possibly other failures, previous repaint or
collision damage (estimated dollar value?)
Just a suggestion. As long as you've got the database.... maybe add some
more info.
