Folks,

So, last night we had two newly-found friends over for dinner here in
Boise. The guy noticed the pictures of my westy on the wall and said,
"nice, i've not camped in mine for a long time."

Thus began the story.... Turns out he has a '91 westy with only about
40,000 miles on it stored in a garage. Purchased new in Wisconsin,
but immediately driven to California where it was used lightly, then
to Boise where it went into storage.

"Yeah," he continued, "it's nice... you know, that dark blue
color.... manual transmission." I tried to remain calm.

Soooooo, i'm trying to be helpful... you know, in case he decides to
let it go cheap to somebody who'd use it as camper :-)

For a vanagon that has sat, weight on wheels, indoors, in Boise (bone
dry, but hot) for over two years with no prep beyond removing the
battery, what procedures would all y'all recommend for a "restart?"

Thanks!
