List: It's been a while since I've posted to the list, but I'm still here. On April 28, I hit a deer in northern Iowa with our 91 Vanagon. Big deer, going pretty fast ( the Vanagon.) We nursed the Vanagon the last 75 miles home, with a leaking radiator. (Late Sunday nite, no cell phone reception. Seemed like a good idea at the time!) After battling with the insurance company, they agreed to pay for the repair, but asked that the body shop get used parts where avalable. Still over $4000 repair bill! I've got an 87 parts car that is supplying some of the parts. I've just found that my air conditioning condensor has stripped threads on one of the fittings. Anyone got a good one for sale? I remember seeing one on ebay a while back with no bids for $15!! Duh!! Please respond via p-mail.. Thanks, Al Brase 69 double cab 80 Westy 82 diesel Vanagon work van 87 Vanagon 90 Vanagon Carat 91 Vanagon w/ deer print in nose 79 Porsche 911 Targa |
