<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>Well I have finaly taken the plung. I was up in Breckenridge, CO this weekend and needed the front blower, which has been out since the end of last winter. I have had the replacement motor for a few weeks now and started the job today. Not a bad job to remove the dash. I followed some very helpful directions that I found on the list: <A href="http://216.33.240.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=605ae77bc2b8090034c97da992306dad&lat=1035165074&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2fgerry%2evanagon%2ecom%2fcgi%2dbin%2fwa%2eexe%3fA2%3dind0111D%26L%3dvanagon%26P%3dR16300">http://216.33.240.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=605ae77bc2b8090034c97da992306dad&lat=1035165074&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2fgerry%2evanagon%2ecom%2fcgi%2dbin%2fwa%2eexe%3fA2%3dind0111D%26L%3dvanagon%26P%3dR16300</A></DIV> <DIV>I was very surprised to see how rotted the foam is on all the vent doors. It just flakes off when I touch it. Will head to home depot tomorrow to find something similar. That should take care of the hot air blasting in in the summer. For those of you looking to tackle this job, I have to say there was no hard part. It is very straight forward. Will find out in the next day or so how smoothly it goes back together, but I am very confident! To think I was soooo close to dropping $600. on this job. Get in there and learn about your van!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Randy Charrette</DIV> <DIV>87 Syncro</DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Surf the Web without missing calls!
