Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
Hi All,
I have been on and off this list for many years and have been a
Vanagon Westy owner since I bought my 83.5 Waterboxer Westy new. I am
moving to a location with too few parking spaces and I need to sell
my Westy.
I have posted an ad at

want to see some pictures.

work anyway - normal for this vehicle.)
* Driver side front mud flap, Driver and Passenger door window cranks
need replacing.
* Gutter rail exterior trim pieces need replacing.
* Window rubber okay for now, but showing signs of age.
* Right rear wheel "fender" panel was replaced back in 1989, paint
now lifting in small
areas around weld.
* Some interior surface trim (vinyl "wallpaper") has delaminated
inside several cupboards
and on some walls.

replacement. I replaced
the pop-top rubber perimeter gaskets a few years ago.

list with any
questions.
