<P>Chuck, Madeline, and others,</P>
<P>It must be a virus going around, my 90 GL started leaking the blue VW antifreeze from the right side sometime Friday.&nbsp; Inspection confirmed one drip per second, seeping from the gasket near the Allen key drain plug.&nbsp; I'm really upset, because this engine is an option 2 from below, and has less than 40K on it, and I've done EVERYTHING to prevent an early death.&nbsp;&nbsp; Before I execute option 4, does anyone in the Denver area want to come strip the good stuff? Among the goodies are</P>
<P>1. Nokian Hakkapelleti Q's with less than 3,000 miles</P>
<P>2. Bilstien Shocks all around, less than a year old</P>
<P>3. New muffler, cat and headers.&nbsp; Also less than a year.</P>
<P>4. Alloy wheels, with dustcaps</P>
<P>5. In general, a really sweet van, with excellent interior.</P>
<P>I can mail photos of anything you are interested in.&nbsp; I'll entertain offers on the parts or the whole van.&nbsp; If someone is wanting to get in to this crazy cult, here's a nice GL that just needs a new engine.&nbsp; </P>

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;pay $2K to have a head job done<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;pay $4K to buy a factory rebuild and pay to have it installed<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;pay $6-10K to switch to another type of engine<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;loose $7K by driving it off a cliff<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; All things considered (including , and crossing my fingers, I'm about<BR>to have Doug's Bugs in Mesa implement choice #1.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think it should last<BR>quite some time this way since the bottom end of the engine seems just<BR>fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;Last minute thoughts??&nbsp;&nbsp;Madeline<BR><BR><BR><BR>---------------------------------<BR>Bored stiff?
