Pete & Jeff,

Thanks for the kind words about my "Wolfsburg Standard" Westy!

I've owned it since 1987, and it has been garaged for many years.  My only
regrets are that I drove it in the winter in the early years, to northern MI
ski retreats, and that I didn't properly cover the bellhousing when I had
the paint blasted off before the restoration last year(resulting in blast
media entering the bellhousing, and a main seal failure).

All is great now, as all the rusted metal panels were replaced, and the van
is running like a top!

For those who haven't see it... here is a link to a photo taken last fall at
the Bus Boo!  http://www.flickr.com/photos/77623993@N00/1460280167/

Looking forward to seeing everyone at this event this weekend.

Jack R.
84 Westy Wolfie,
Bloomfield MI
