I still have 1987 Vanagain but right now it’s at my trusted mechanic waiting on a compete engine from Go Westy. Spun a bearing in my driveway and it takes about 3-6 weeks to get here.

I still see lots of Vanagons where I live in Western Washington. My syncro Westy is in my garage, hope to get it out for a fall trip before the weather turns.
