> You can not afford a vanagon or a british sportscar if you do not have > or can not afford a live-in mechanic! I'll drink to THAT!! '84 GL 7 pass '85 GL Westy '58 AH Bugeye Sprite All three require constant attention ..... but NONE are for sale. Right after I picked up my Westy (I live in Maine ... Westy was in Virginia) My big rubber head gaskets disentegrated. I was over 1000 miles from home but had tools with me, so I replaced the gaskets myself. While I was at it I replaced all the vacuum lines, injector seals, lots of nuts and bolts, a couple of the smaller hoses, some of the fuel line, and some of the wireing. It all cost me less than $300. Mike |
