<P>Chuck, Madeline, and others,</P>
<P>It must be a virus going around, my 90 GL started leaking the blue VW antifreeze from the right side sometime Friday. Inspection confirmed one drip per second, seeping from the gasket near the Allen key drain plug. I'm really upset, because this engine is an option 2 from below, and has less than 40K on it, and I've done EVERYTHING to prevent an early death. Before I execute option 4, does anyone in the Denver area want to come strip the good stuff? Among the goodies are</P>
<P>1. Nokian Hakkapelleti Q's with less than 3,000 miles</P>
<P>2. Bilstien Shocks all around, less than a year old</P>
<P>3. New muffler, cat and headers. Also less than a year.</P>
<P>4. Alloy wheels, with dustcaps</P>
<P>5. In general, a really sweet van, with excellent interior.</P>
<P>I can mail photos of anything you are interested in. I'll entertain offers on the parts or the whole van. If someone is wanting to get in to this crazy cult, here's a nice GL that just needs a new engine. </P>

The way I see it I have 4 choices:<BR>
1. pay $2K to have a head job done<BR> 2. pay $4K to buy a factory rebuild and pay to have it installed<BR> 3. pay $6-10K to switch to another type of engine<BR> 4. loose $7K by driving it off a cliff<BR><BR> All things considered (including , and crossing my fingers, I'm about<BR>to have Doug's Bugs in Mesa implement choice #1. I think it should last<BR>quite some time this way since the bottom end of the engine seems just<BR>fine. Last minute thoughts??
