i had to share this with the list.  these fools at work just don't understand
:^).  my brother just called me from la.  he just picked up a mint 86 westy
for $7500.  the guy he bought it from actually buys used westies, fixes
them up, and exports them back to germany!  anyway, my brother will no
longer be in need of his 82 westy, and the kind soul is actually going to
drive it back to michigan (next week!) and practically give it to me.  the
body is completely cancer, but the motor is solid, total rebuild 2 yrs ago. 
all camping stuff, gas heater working.  new starter, rotors, good tires,
solid, quiet exhaust.  i won't have to go to the parts store for anything
major for years! :-)  plus, when my motor fizzles, i'll have another to drop
in right away.  this is amazing!  now, where am i going to put it?  i
suppose the neighbors won't mind...

82 westy (almost) - do selfless parts donors get added to the stats?
