        I wish it was mine! I saw it too, what with all the stoodents back in
town for skool, there are a bunch of new old Vanagons in town. I talked
to one guy with a Weekender, but he was clueless - he thought all he
had was an "old hippy van." I told him if he ever wanted to get rid of
it...
        Mine is currently awaiting a new gas tank, which shipped yesterday
from BD. Now I need to decide whether or not to seal it with a gas tank
coating before I install it, or just paint the outside. I don't know if
any of the available products would prevent it from rusting and not
impede the flow of fuel by clogging the outlet screen. Does anyone have
any experience or insight as to what I should do?
