      Hi Tom

                            Looking good from 1500 miles away.   I am sure you have Clifford looking over your shoulder.  give us some detail as to what made you do this.
                            Made more than a few calls to Clifford when I had to do that and forever grateful which is now about a dozen years ago .
                            Say Hi to that Van fellow from a fellow Dutchman.
                                                                                                                            Joe.

Hi Joe, my engine seized a couple years ago, caused by a Crack in the head. Parts have been very hard to come by...

There is a saying around our house that says  " We have pieces"  which has saved the day many a time, more so when the kids needed vehicles.  Our place became known as" Volkswagen heaven"
        May be the mantra should change now "We have a few Detroit pieces".  Fresh 6v92   mech  on pallet,  Low hours 8v92 mech,  DDEC 6v92 and some other odds and ends.
         We passed that "fourscore milestone " not so long ago,and the kids have been gently suggesting it is time to start cleaning up.
          Not allowed entry into US during during that socalled emergency so the coach has seen very little use  in the past few years.

                                      Joe.
