Hi all,


Just joined the list and the Vanagon community with my purchase
of an '83 Westy.  Found the archives and will check there before
posting questions.


Here's what I bought:


'83.5 Vanagon Westfalia Wasserboxer
225,000 on chassis
55,000 on new engine and rebuilt transmission
Color is ivory and brown, paint is rough from a sandstorm or
something in its past.
All strucuture is solid
Rust above rocker panel under external water and electric
hookups
'fridge and sink work, fridge probably need cleaning as it seems
weak.
Engine runs strong, only 12mpg on hwy
Disabled AC, will remove top unit.
Pop top in good condition, needs seal, but no leaks
Was missing the sway bar, but have used assembly in the way


More as i think of it. I'll send a sepearate post on leaky drain
question
