I just went through this for over a month.  Same scenario-it was in
Florida I needed it to go to NE Iowa.  I had 2 people that were going to
bring it back for me and both bailed at the last minute AFTER receiving
the money.  I finally quite fooling around and paid a professional
transportation service to get it home.  Big $$$$!!  But it was worth it.
 Wish I would have done that in the first place. Me driving 1200 miles
alone was not an option.  600 mile and  I would have considered
seriously flying down to get it.

If you can (or Todd knows someone) that with ship it for that kind of
money, right now with the gas prices so high---Jump on it quick before
they change their mind!!!  Because everyone else will be about double.
Good luck and hope you get it home soon,!

Say Volks,
I'm looking to buy the plastic end caps for the rear bumper of an 84
Westy and an exterior door handle.  Any one on the list or know someone
that would like to sell for a reasonable price?

Cheers,
Katy
84 Westy
