The deal is done!  I am now the proud owner of a 1984 Westfalia - light
blue with purple cabinets (tastefully done mind you).  I pick it up on
Saturday.  As you may have seen in one of my previous posts, there are a
few things wrong with this one.  The biggest problem is a bad transmission,
followed by a very noisy fuel pump, a fridge that doesn't work on propane
and a few other odds and sods.  I got a good deal as far as BC prices go -
$3500 CAD ($2300 USD).  Supposedly there was some engine work about 2 years
ago that was triggered by leaking coolant... where have I heard that story
before!  The interior is very clean and the van did see lots of TLC -
problem is the owner went broke owning it!

Now, I have to reduce the fleet... 6 cars is too much according to my wife,
parents, friends, neighbours and complete strangers :)  So, I have my 1978
Rabbit and 1985 Cabriolet for sale.  Anyone interested?  Please!?  :)
