Subject:      Re: 89 vanagon burning plastic odor
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;


As we all define smells differently, I would suggest a smell I always
notice when driving in the winter. The salt spray from the left rear
wheel all over the exhaust pipes really smells bad... make sure if it is
this you smell, or something else. In addition, the pipes are
disintegrating, I'm afraid I have to plunk out some doe soon...
