Hi Zoltan , all- My starter is toast and so my
engine is idling as I wi-fi this.

I have three Vanagon Diesel starters at home and
one rebuilt one in my other 82 Vanagon.

Now I need to see who I know can go to my house
get it and ship it .

Shipping it to where? Well, it looks like Boston.
I have no more time to work on this car- unless i
get lucky and find a junnkyard along the way (us
80 and 74).

I'll check with friends Ed and Staeve later at my
night stop for wi-fi.

Any one knows of junkyards in Nebraska or Iowa
let me know.Yes, I know what you are thinking- do
they even have vanagons there?
