Subject:      Another newbie ('72 Westy)

Time to jump in and say hello...some of you might have seen my post to usenet asking about engines for my '72.

If not, I just purchased the '72 Westy for $500. Only has 3 minor dents, good interior (roof cot needs repair), great undercarriage, and needs one new head (lost an exhaust valve seat). Red be the color.

I will be driving it about 80 miles Saturday morning from its current home to mine - which is Felton, CA...way, way up in the Santa Cruz mountains...let's hope I make it over hwy 17! Looks like I have to take it slow, since there is the possibility of particles in one of the piston chambers. Mileage is at 171K miles, or so I glean from every scrap of paperwork that was saved.

[ any locals on this list what to go drive 880 and 17 *real* slow ] [ with me Saturday morning? :) ]

Speaking of paper work, I have a "nonoperational status receipt" for it from DMV. Could someone please inform me as to what this means for me when I get it into running condition and wish to register it?

Other paperwork I have is this weird thing :
