Subject:Trade a Eurovan project (Was: Why no EuroVan Maintenance Posts?)
From:Mark A Kippert

Not to hijack this thread, but it seemed the perfect opportunity (plus being Friday and all). I started out with a Eurovan Weekender project but was drawn into the Vanagon addiction. As such I need to get rid of the Eurovan project. My wife says it has to go before I get anything else Vanagon. I would be happy to trade for a Vanagon, Vanagon parts or an aircooled bug (or what ever you might have).

Please, Email off list for details. I'd be happy to send you my phone number if you wanna chat.

It's in Indy.

Here are pictures documenting what I've been doing:

(you can take it or scavenge what you want and I'll sell it for scrap):

THANKS!
