While in a junkyard getting a speedometer for our diesel Jetta this weekend (the odometer stopped working at 260,000 miles), my wife spotted a decaying Westy in a corner of one field. Closer inspection revealed it to be a 1970 model, with complete engine (no idea of condition), crumbling canvas, and rust where most sheet metal used to be. The interior was gone. Buried in a box under a heap of junk inside the bus were two screens for the rear hatch opening. One was pretty tattered, but the other nearly perfect. I bought it, thinking someone on this list must need one. I know I would have sold my grandmother for one of these screens when we had our 1974 Westy, but we sold it this spring. Anyway, anyone interested should send me email with a tempting offer. If I don't sell it this way, I'll tote it to the fall Bug Out in Manassas. --Dale 1981 Vanagon (soon to become a Westfalia) 1982 Westfalia (wrecked)
