Ok Moving on getting this brick ready for inspection.

Found out that the bulb holder for the passenger side was corroded and made
the light inoperable. It was so bad I had to splice in new wire terminals.
I have replacements holders. Upon refitting one I can get the blinker to
go, but the parking light is out, maybe something to do with the city light
tapped into that.

I have an appointment at Safelite for a new windshield. I hope they have
the tinted top one, but at this point I just need that to be done. I'll be
looking for my old seal beams to replace my crappy autopals from ebay for
inspection and then getting some better lights from a local vendor ;)

The inspection actually occurs I will have to get my PA license and change
the title over. It seem fast enough for my wife. So we'll see with the old
vanagon.

Thanks,
T.
