<< Thanks for the offer of the list info. My '85 is in the shop for Tranny
work
 . Machined the flywheel, new Sachs clutch plate and pressure plate, new
 pilot bearing and pilot shaft, "New" as in "Brand New" tranny case ( got a
 deal throught Todd Hill @ Volkswerks), used serviceable clutch housing, new
 seals. Inner works was in really good shape. So just put it back together.
 Lubed all C/V's.  Should be a while before I need anything more in that
 department. Next comes brakes all the way around, Cat converter, muffler,
 tailpipe.  >>

Sounds Super-- I have yet to have any serious tranny trouble. The diff.
bearings on my Jetta are loose, (can't be adjusted, THANKS VW!), but other
than that, smooth shifting.

We are excited because we FINALLY bought a Westy. You may recall, my wife
talked me out of a Westy last year and we instead poured (litterally)
thousands of dollars into restoring a 1976 loaf, which I loathed, and she
liked...now, the loaf is restored, and she changed her mind, and wants the
Westy. Yeah! (Wish she could have come to that decision last year in June. :(

It is a pristene 1982, one owner, (litterally a little "old" lady), who took
it to Europe a few times, with her kids. Otherwise had it in her garage except
for "running it every few weeks to keep it's blood flowing". It is litterally
like new, even the fiberglass top still has a little shine to it.. White with
Tan interior. 90k, had it rebuilt about 10k ago. Runs great, spotlessly clean,
$4,200. :) !!!

Now say a prayer we can sell the loaf. Hadn't planned on buying anything major
right now and need to keep the cash flow positive! Bummer about the list is I
posted the sales info last night, nothing this a.m. Wasssupwiddat?

have a great day, with or without the list, :)
