So  begins another Westy marriage (No. 3) and all its joys and hopes
and  uncertainties.  I expect I will build the trust over time.   In
the meantime, I will renew my AAA-Plus membership again this
year!  :-)  And I will then head out for more  adventures!

hello Melissa  I also am starting on my 3rd edtion of the  Doglimo.  this
time I built a 85 weekender with a I4 jetta motor. This  vannie had sat for
about 4 years without a motor.  needed some body repairs  for some rusted
areas along with rebuilt trans and motor and pop top canvas.  took about 4
weeks to build it and paint it.  Drove it first to Buses on  the River, about a
4 hour trip one way  Van ran great good power , Ok gas  mileage.I really
like the weekender set up a lot.  I am now going to test  it again this weekend
on about a 6 hour ride. I also have AAA premier which has  a 200 mile tow
just in case.  happy trails to you and me :)   later  mark d
