Hello: This is my first posting to the list. I've been subscribed for a few weeks now. Where to start ?? :) I just purchased a 1986 Westy. Fairly solid but needs lots of care. Here's some questions if anyone's in the mood to answer (on a monday morning). 1/ Coolant tank (behind license plate) is empty. Van does not overheat. I understand that this is the place to check/add coolant? 2/ Coolant gauge does not move, even after 1.5 hours of driving. Where do I start looking? 3/ Front table is missing. I'd like to get my brother, a welder, to fabricate me a suitable substitute pipe/frame. What are the dimensions of the fron L-shaped leg? ie how high, how wide? 4/ Pastel White paint is faded badly, with some rust spots. I am thinking about a paint job, and changing the color. What's a good color choice to go with the brown interior ? I'll stop there for now. Thanks for any replies Tom (presently in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada). |
