Hey y'all,

I just got back from the Seattle vintage VW show. Never been to a VW show,
and if you haven't either, it's worth it to recharge your VW enthusiasm
battery (mine had run down after a long series of breakdowns).

Never been an air-head, but wow! Now I want a '67 bus and a oval window
bug--I can't stop dreaming about restorations.

Plus, there were some fantastic vanagons in the parking lot. David Marshall
brought his latest German Army import double cab pickup, and there was a
gorgeous red immaculate double-cab pickup I wished I could have seen more
of. A few hotroad low-riding vanagons were there, including one that looked
brand new. From BC, it had a "Porsche Vanagon" emblem on the dash, hinting
at what must have been in the engine compartment. Wished I could have found
the owner.

Anyway, I'm all excited again to crawl back under Calvin and finish up some
projects. Maybe even change the oil. Add those fog lights. Redo the interior
door panels and soundproof the doors. Add that extra Hella interior light.
Hand polish and wax the paint. Finally fix the rear seat heater. Fix that
rust spo...

Cheers,

Steve and Calvin, a quaint little wood-floored 84 Westy

P.S. All you Left-coasters: see you at the Vancouver, BC show in August!
