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.

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
