I'm not sure if you thought that was funny or not.  :)

I know it's minor but it's a West Coast vehicle and I was hoping for zero rust.  Don't have the Vanagon experience to know what "tip of the iceburg" looks like so thought I would run it by the experts.

A deal has been made, it's coming to Ontario to get prepped for a 5 week trip west and south.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Anyone have a top 10 list of first things to do/buy with a new (to you) Westfalia?  I have searched around a bit but any input is appreciated.  Fuel lines first.

Also this is on kijiji in Ottawa, Not mine and don'y know owner.  Might make a good parts bus or really ambitious project.  I have pictures of the rust if anyone would like them.
