[Vwdiesel] New acquisition

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Well I went and done it!  I located and purchased an 82 Westy  
diesel.  It has sat for a couple of years and needs to be extensively  
cleaned inside and out (can we all say rat's nests?).  It will also  
need new pop top seals and canvas but the body is in excellent  
shape.  The engine turns over but I have not yet attempted to start  
it.  Now my big decision, should I ditch the TDI Caddy project and  
put the 1Z in the Westy or finish the truck?  Comments or  
suggestions?  Hayden

one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law  
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up  
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as  
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
