Subject:      How to's?? What happened to them?
Content-Type: text/plain

A few months back somebody mentioned that we need some general how-to's on
the vanagon.com URL.  What ever happened to that proposal?  There are a lot
of repetitive questions that pop up here that a simple how-to could answer.
I see that we will 1) need someone to put the files on Gerry 2) someone to
write the how-to's 3) someone to write the web pages.  I will take a share
and author some web pages but I don't feel sufficient to write any how-to's.
I know there are how-to's in www-land that we should link from Gerry.

My quick brain storm on some handy HOW-TO's:
Brake jobs (front x2, rear and hand brake)
Testing the VC
Fuel Lines
Fridge Fixes
Ignition trouble shooting
Clunks up-front
Poor handling
Noisy passengers
Brake lines
Master Cylinder
Radio
Aux. gauges
Rims and wheels (NOT TIRES)
Adjusting your sliding door
Where is you paint code?
How to smuggle wine and Cigarettes into Canada?
Where to rent Westys
Aux. battery madness
Engine Conversions
Starter woes
Which type of oil?
Racks
Leaky fuel tank when filling
Westy Friendly shops (I know there is a partial listing)
Wrecking yard locations
Fuel filter & pump
Floppy rear view mirrors
Bad Light switches
Extra Seats in your Bus
Pop top stuff
      -seal
      -mold
      -racks

yadda yadda yadda. I think that most of this stuff can be obtained by
frisking Gerry.  Any takers? If you are going to frisk her, the best bet is
to use email ( send email to listserv@gerry.vanagon.com with body being:
search WHATEVER in vanagon) for searching.

Any takers?
