After several bad experiences with Vanagon's I left the forum a couple of years ago thinking I was done. Hit a deer and rolled one. Engine seized in replacement.  Recently found a replacement engine for the '85 with the intention to sell it...but after I drove it about a hundred feet I became reinfected. I told my wife "I can't sell this now." And much to my surprise she agreed. Thanks for still being here.
