Subject: junkyard tales, change those fuel lines!

The major self serve junkyards in SoCal had their half price sales this
weekend. I made it to 3 yards and bought too much Vanagon stuff. The
first yard had an 84 with a new German  radiator so I bought the
radiator for about $25. They also had an early 1980 Westy that I picked
a few parts off. I use that model of tranny (DK) on my TD conversions so
$60 was a pretty sweet deal. The 80 was built in July 79, Westy serial #
1200. I have never seen one that old. 

If the build date was July '79, and with August being VW's change of
year model month, that would make the aircooled Westy technically a '79
model T3 would it not? 
I have seen a 1980 year-model 2.0L bay window van (from Germany) and a
1993 year-model T3 (also from Germany) but never a '79 T3.

Verrrry interesting...;)
