Some mechanic are lucky to have so much free time.... let say that SF is
a bit out of range. Next time i'm on  the west coast, i may never come
back. Working on NON rusty Vanagon is a dream for me, just a dream, each
night i have pleasant dreams about those vans, when i wake up, i 'm
back  into  "nightmare" land, daytime!

Now i have that 88 in front of me, you should see the wreck. 10 minutes
ago, i started some "Grinding", the lower back left arch fell on the
ground, the whole part ???? So i will go outside ant take some good
metal on my.... San Francisco van, ironic.

Paul Guzyk told me once, you better of buying a Western Van, pay the fee
to have this one shiped to the east coast and you will still make way
money than fixing rust for 3 weeks.
