<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>So maybe you could make some extra of these weldings of yours and sell them to us... </P> <P>And when you say have been leaking for years, what do you mean exactly? Puddles? Corrosion? A picture of this would be interesting. Its curious to know that they could be leaking for years and you can drive them for years. How much and how often do you add water/coolant. </P> <P>You say you got boston bobs engine, which option? I might like to see this when its put in, since Fullerton isn't too far away... <BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>&gt;From: Randy Bergum <ORGANSLAVE@EARTHLINK.NET> <DIV></DIV>&gt;Reply-To: Randy Bergum <ORGANSLAVE@EARTHLINK.NET> <DIV></DIV>&gt;To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>&gt;Subject: Re: Who has the highest mileage? <DIV></DIV>&gt;Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 09:34:27 -0800 <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt;1990 Carat - 265,000 miles on the orig. short block. Had the heads done at <DIV></DIV>&gt;135,000, and they have been leaking again for years. Got a new engine from <DIV></DIV>&gt;Boston Bob, but don't have time to install right now. <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt;Plan to weld all new coolant fittings from stainless steel, so no leaks <DIV></DIV>&gt;from broken T's and such. <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt;Randy Bergum <DIV></DIV>&gt;Fullerton, CA <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; [Original Message] <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; From: Max Wellhouse <MAXJOYCE@IPA.NET> <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; To: <VANAGON@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Date: 1/17/2003 9:02:46 AM <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Subject: Re: Who has the highest mileage? <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Last time this thread ran, I think the photographer guy in AZ had 350k+ on <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; his and that one was the winner of the Methuselah(yeah all you biblical <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; scholars, I had to look that one up in the dictionary!!). Not sure if <DIV></DIV>&gt;it's <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; still running. As an interesting side note, the second definition of <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Methuselah is a large wine container holding approx. 6.15 liters. How <DIV></DIV>&gt;they <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; expected the wine in that vessel to last 969 years is a total mystery to <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; me, allthough at my house it would evaporate well before that time limit. <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Dimwitted Moose and Flying Squirrel(moving to Cedar Falls, IA in less than <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 30 days) <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; At 10:18 AM 1/17/2003 -0500, Jay L Snyder wrote: <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;The problem is finding an odometer that will last that long! <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;"Jones, Dustin" <DUJONES@STATE.PA.US>@gerry.vanagon.com&gt; on 01/17/2003 <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;09:44:34 AM <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;Please respond to "Jones, Dustin" <DUJONES@STATE.PA.US> <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;Sent by: Vanagon Mailing List <VANAGON@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;cc: <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;Subject: Who has the highest mileage? <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Just out of curiosity, who has the highest mileage on their veedub on <DIV></DIV>&gt;the <DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;list?
