Thanks Warren for setting this up. An idea who's time has definitely
arrive.
Our Spring Break Traveling Partners, Ed and Suzanne, have a 1985 Vanagon
weekender. They experienced the lurching wasserleaker phenomena during one
of our trips (for those of you who
have already forgotten the "good ol' days) and recently started experiencing
the famous leaking head phenomena. They were talking about getting their
wasserleaker rebuilt in spite of the fact I had shown them my conversion and
took them for a ride.
Recently we caravan-ed to a campsite that involved going over some hills
well known to Ed. At the base of them I slowed and stopped alongside the
road. He stopped behind me and walked up to my window to ask what "my
problem" was. I told him that "we are exchanging busses"! I hopped into
his and he took off in mine! Later he told me that that was the first time
he had ever gone over the coastal range in 4th gear!! <grin>
Ed currently has his wiring harness done and is about to install his 1991
Subaru Legacy 2.2. I am sure he will be joining this list soon. He did a
fine job on the wiring harness (better than me, truth be told!) and might
have some great suggestion concerning "wiring hell".
Finally, I would like to point out that our esteemed guru, Hobart Kennedy's
first name actually is Hobert! It took me years to discover that! In all
the time I have had it wrong on my ROADCOW webpage, Hobert never took
offence, whined or sniveled!! What a guy!
PS. Don't anyone suggest making a subaruvanagon sticker!!
