Hi Volks,

Well, I have gone and done it now... I have finally succumbed and bought
myself a wasserboxer. It's a 1987 Wolfsburg 7-passenger hardtop camper
which I purchased from Salem Import Service en route to EveryBus. I
imported it into Canada and on the way home I dropped it off at my local
VW specialist yesterday to have a safety certification done. They called
me back today to tell me it passed with flying colours.

It's a little rough around some of the edges, but the driveline and
chassis are solid and I am always open for a challenge (within reason).
Most of the details are pretty minor: the carpets need cleaning, there
are two spots of seam rust to deal with,the wheels need a repaint and
the bumper has a crack in it. On the plus side, the 7-passenger layout
makes for a LOT of available interior space. I have the same interior
layout in my baywindow westfakia and quite like it. Funnily enough I
often found myself trying to throw things on the upper bunk... that is
going to be a hard habit to kick.

If you thought I had a lot of questions before.... You just wait and
see. This new one is planned to be my 4-season daily driver for the next
couple of years.

Near term need/want list, email if you have these items for sale CHEAP:
- Curtains
- exhaust bracket from 2.1L engine block.
- trailer hitch


Happy Trails,
