Technically not a Vanagon but it's Friday.

I am very pleased with the body shop that did the restoration work on my
truck and I want to share my good experience with the
Vanagon/Westfalia/Transporter communities.  Photos and brief story in this
Samba thread.

I bought this vehicle to use as my residential construction work truck and
it performed beautifully.  Residential construction has nearly dried up in
this economy so maybe I was supposed to try something new?

I'm somewhat conflicted about the idea of actually even driving it.  Before
the restoration I would often find "sell me your truck" notes on the
windshield or other Vanagon folk waiting to talk to me in parking lots.  Now
that she's all "purty", I don't know what to expect.

I do know that I'll need to choose my parking spots more carefully.
