Greetings and salutations! I've this vague feeling that I'm about to ask some ignorant questions. Or at least questions that have been answered times inumerable. I do not now own a Vanagon in any of it's configuirations. But I want to! And searching through the archeives it would seem that this particular VW is, at best, a rather involved hobby, and, at worst, a mechanics nightmare. Not being squimish about the repairs on all my previous VeeDubs - some of which have landed me in deep doodoo - I feel that I can conquer many of the repairs that seem to pop up (pardon me!) with, say, a Westie. So where do I begin? Do I want a basket case or a restored dream? Or something in between? Are there production years to avoid? What do I look for that would make one a "good buy", one that I should wrap my arms around like a long lost love? Conversely, what going to make me turn on my heels and run away just as fast as my size 9 feet will take me. Thank you. Your help is truly appreciated!
