Joy,
Paul Guzyk just drove up to Happy Valley Goose Bay in his beautiful new 86
syncro westy.  He stopped in at the shop to have me check out the van before
he left.  Found a cracked coolant tank already starting to leak!
He has been putting up some pics on his web site along the way:

Looks like there's enough interest to do a caravan next year, including me!
