Hello all,

 I may have made a mistake, but I'm an adventurous
sort, and my Vanagon TDi conversion is taking way too
long and I needed a van to drive in the meantime.
I've always liked the Eurovan 5spd, and so I bought
one needing a bit of work in Dallas TX. the kicker is
that I'm in Buffalo, NY and am going to fly out and
drive it back to Buffalo.
 the thought of a rust free 5 speed eurovan made me
very excited, and It wasn't an impulse buy but maybe I
did get a bit over my head.

I'm an excellent mechanic, and really only need
someone to check a few things over, and see what
things I need to fix, and what parts I need to bring
with me. The Van does run well, ( according to the
owner, who seems like an honest person, but doesn't
have any mechanical skills) I just want someone to
look it over and tell me what I need, and MAYBE a
place to work on the van for an afternoon while I get
it ready.
the issues known to me were-
small fuel leak near tank
battery
fluid changes
2 tires
shifting mechanism needing a bushing.

I'll certainly compensate you for your time.
sorry for the lack of Vanagon content, I do have 2
Vanagons, one for parts and one I'm building, I just
need something for the interim...

thanks so much for any help!

the van is located on
Galena St.
Dallas, TX, 75228

I'll get more contact info off list.

Percy.
