First,  welcome to this crasy list.

Second, do a compression test, just so you  know how is the engine condition
in general, if it's bad, stop. A leak down  test is something you do because
the compression test came bad. You don't  want to go there.

I have a good check list, but it's in  French?

It was also done in  English, but i have to find this one!!!

Thbe only thing i have to tell  you is that Air-Cool parts are harder and
harder to  find.

The English check list is  here > _VW Bus &  Westfalia Vehicle Inspection
Check List_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/inspect.htm) .  On MY website, REMEMBER
ME  ????  This was done for the Zamora travellers.  Your drinking way too
much Subie Juice !  Hey, while I got your attention, I got my Solar panel,  130
watt with cool controller.  Now the mounting fun begins.  I WILL  HAVE THE
COLD BEER IN MEXICO !!!
