greetings listees!  mike williams, here...you might
remember me from such posts as 'a boy and his van' and
'high and dry in no mans land'...i've been on and off
this list for five years now, i was a regular when i
was 19 years old and living in my vanagon (84 westy)
in the phoenix area of arizona.  i'm now on my 2nd 84
Westfalia and i'm restoring the girl from tires up
(one piece at a time)...i should also mention i'm not
actually 'restoring' her...more of a 'make her mine'
kind of rebuild. and i've got some great ideas for
interior improvements (having lived in the van for
almost two years, i'm quite savvy on the ups and downs
of the space and cabinetry provided).  i just wanted
to thank the list for all the help i have gotten from
it in the past...and to thank ahead of time for the
help i'm sure i will be asking for in the future of
this project.  if there's anyone out there from
central massachusetts and has rebuilt one of these 1.9
liters before, i sure could use some advice.  i've got
the engine out, and most of the parts needed, now i
just need a small lecture on timing before i go taking
everything apart.

thanks again everyone...you'll be hearing from me
soon, i'm sure

Mike Williams
