So drive it. Or put it on a trailer or dolly and drag it. Or come in another
vehicle and get a tent, we don't care. Just don't miss the event.

1986 isn't old enough yet. I also have the problem of when it gets up to
operating temp it wants to fall on its face like 2 injectors are shut down. I
think it just needs to be driven more and get the 3 years of cobwebs out.

Is that thing old enough for antique plates (25)? If so just grab you some
antque plates and you don't have to have inspection.

Update: Today I drove my Vanagon to work so I could get the inspection done
when I went home. Well.... She failed the emission test miserably. The HC and
CO counts were thru the roof! I don't know where to begin and won't have
another chance to work with any progress until after T@P . I don't think I will
make it. (Paul, you better do this next year too!!!) I am going to start my
research of what could be wrong,( no its not because its a water-cooled
Vanagon!) here on the web and see if I can at least get it drivable. Wish me
luck, John

I am exited! Today after work I went to Lonnie's house and changed the belts on
my 86 Westy and then drove her home to my house approx. 18 miles down the
highway! While to most of you may thing less than 20 miles is no big deal,
rememb er I got this VW less than a month ago and it had not run for over 3
years. Lonnie and other good friends, not to forget my father, helped her back
into running shape with just 2 Saturdays to work on the engine.. My thanks goes
to Lonnie and the rest of them.
John
p.s. Paul, it looks like you will have another one at T@P6! I just won't know
for sure until I pull in the lot. LOL
