It's in the East End, 1576 E 2nd. Unfortunately I live way out in Abbotsford
and have to borrow or rent a truck to haul it as my van has its butt in the
air and a big hole where the engine used to be. If it's convenient for you
to look at it, you would be doing me a great favour. I was planning on
heading into Van tomorrow.
