Get a little bottle of same-color paint from a VW dealer ($$) or from your FLAPS, and dab it on immediately. If you get to it before any rust takes hold, you don't need to prime or sand. It's a good holding action, until you finally save enough to paint the car in a few years.
>2) What sort of mileage should an '83 Westfalia be getting.....ideally? :) Ideally, a Westy should get 100 mpg. :^) But most of the ones in good shape, actually get around 20-22 mpg. /\ / \ \ \__ _ \ \o\ |_0 \ \o\= ~~~~~~~~~~~||~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '80 V6anagon w/Chevy 2800 '66 Mustang Coupevertible Check out the cars at http://www.wp.com/IrishMafia *** There are plenty of jobs around!
