Anybody interested?

I have an opportunity to go to school in Colorado this summer.  If
everything works out with the school, I will unfortunately have to sell my
82 Westy sometime between March and May.  Yes, I know that is the start of
the camping season, but I have been dreaming of this school longer than I
have owned the Westy and I can always find another when time and money
permits.  It is in pretty good shape considering that it is an 82!  I still
have to install the carpet that I bought for it about a month ago and
install a plastic bushing in the shifter rod.  It is missing the center
plastic piece that covers the lower heater duct in front of the shifter, but
I am still looking for a replacement.  The cold start cable is broke, but I
never replaced it because it starts fine when the temperature is cold
outside, even after sitting for weeks at a time.  I put in nice seats from
my 87 which have the adjutable armrests.  I also put in the seatbelts from
the 87 because the receptacles have a longer arms and are easier to locate
in the dark.  It has a JVC CD player in the dash with a 6 speaker system.
Pretty good sound for a Vanagon!

The poptop canvas is ripped in the front and has duct tape on it so the
skeeters didn't get in this summer.  If you are interested in the van, I'll
take off some cash so you can get new canvas.  They make a nice new one with
side screens now.  Everything else is in good shape and working.

This Westy used to be my daily driver until I got my Syncro on the road.  I
averaged about 35 miles to the gallon city driving.  It has a current
inspection(10/01).  The van shows 141,069 miles on it but I do not know if
this is accurate.  I did not buy it from the origional owner so I don't know
about the mileage.

If anybody is interested, please let me know.
