From: mark drillock <drillock@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: junkyard tales, change those fuel lines!

The major self serve junkyards in SoCal had their half price sales this weekend. I made it to 3 yards and bought too much Vanagon stuff. The first yard had an 84 with a new German radiator so I bought the radiator for about $25. They also had an early 1980 Westy that I picked a few parts off. I use that model of tranny (DK) on my TD conversions so $60 was a pretty sweet deal. The 80 was built in July 79, Westy serial # 1200. I have never seen one that old.

If the build date was July '79, and with August being VW's change of year model month, that would make the aircooled Westy technically a '79 model T3 would it not? I have seen a 1980 year-model 2.0L bay window van (from Germany) and a 1993 year-model T3 (also from Germany) but never a '79 T3.

Verrrry interesting...;)
