The Vanagon Valdiz sails again! Bugg Craft finally finished rebuilding my '80 Westy's engine, and so far, so good :-) It now almost goes fast enough to get out of its own way :-) I've driven it 100 grin-filled miles since yesterday afternoon. I have one problem though... Now that it no longer leaks oil like a supertanker that's run aground, I can't very well go on calling it the Vanagon Valdiz. A new name will come to me, in time... -- Eric (Rusty) Ogden, Utah '80 Westy -- 100 miles on rebuild (0%-Lilley, but wait till next time!); about 80,000 on body and drivetrain. |
