Subject:      85 Westy GL- Winterizing tips?
Comments: To: vanagon@VANAGON.COM
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


    Well I can hardly contain my excitement, I finally got my hands on
the deal of a lifetime.  A 85 Vanagon GL with all the trimmings.  This
baby is in great shape.  I really want to keep it this way.  Of course
the problem is I live in Ottawa, Ontario, probably one of the most
heavily salted areas in North America!!


     Can anyone out there recommend what kinds of things I should look
into as 'preventive measures'.  I am not just talking about salt, I mean
all I can really do about that is get the underside rust treated and
keep clean all winter.  I am more concerned with the westy components,
draining the water pipes properly, what to do about that flu vent (no
cover!!).


    Basically, I got a call out of the blue saying that this vehicle was
availible (for $2500 CDN!!!!!!)  So even though I am completely broke I
just couldn't say no.


    Well any help would be appreciated.  I feel like I have just joined
the best family in the world!!


Happy trails all!!!
