dear new Adventure Wagoner ...

good find ... well done ..
if your vehicle has been sitting for a long time
you  may need to do a couple of things ...'
New tires ... even if they look good to the eye ...
the stress of sitting in one place for a long time then being asked to go
round and round is likely too much of a hardship -
the brakes may have separated asbestos from metal ...
and seals may have let go that have not been flexed and used in the last
however long
i will be facing all this with my 89 lebaron when i put it on the road this
summer after a two year + in storage
(under a car cover)
lots of mold to clean up ..etc ...
any way ... glad to see you have found the sleeping VW-AW
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
