She and the previous owner only put a grand total of 38,000 miles on it by the time i took over. Since 2002 and the present I;ve put a new paint job, rebuilt the new interior and most recently installed a new/rebuilt 2000cc engine. She purrs! <br />Mesa West did the engine in Costa Mesa, CA. Norm and Kevin are the guys I ask a thousand questions to, and they answered everyone. I'm picky about who I take my bus to and these guys are the real deal. <br />Before Mesa West I was a loyal customer of John's Repair in Bellingham Wa, John and Kim are some of the most knowledgeable and easy going mechanics I know. <br />After the new engine and paint job, I've been traveling up and down the California coast surfing and visiting all my friends. I think the next destination could be the great island of Maui.... <br />VAN LIFE RULES!<br />thanks Neil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
