New From WA Country SW
Codgers - November 7th, 2009 at 04:01 PM

The Codgers bought a 1985 VW Caravelle GL Bus 5 speed manual 4 Cylinder 1913 CC watercooled F4 engine Group T3 platform (Vanagon) RR Layout (Rear-Engine, Rear-wheel drive layout) in November 2007.

The puzzle now is to decide what to do about the head gasket problem (crevice corrosion) - water just pours straight out.

Who in WA would be good people to take it to?

Thanks
The Codgers

Hi

Don't know anybody over there but I'm sure a local will chime in. Get a quote but also consider a Subaru conversion.

Yes, we have been studying the Subaru conversion but decided we would need to have it done by someone else. Question: Who? Read up on people in Qld and NSW who would be great for the work. Then thought we ought to fish our feet first! Heard of a guy called Seagull here (Perth, at least), but don't know more than that. Except that he did some extraordinary work on a motor bike!

Oh, and I have given up on the Avatar lark! Got my pics smaller and smaller, but still too big, and now too fuzzy!
