Hey Pete aka FRED!  I was going to shoot you a message about the calendars but the last months of the year go by in a blur.  Hope you are enjoying your new home.

Hi Pete. I live in Lexington, SC. I am a newbie with an 1987 Westfalia. I have been looking for repair shops and found https://www.importspecialtie.com/. I will be taking the van there but was wondering if you know of any other VW van mechanics in the area. My name is Ron Burke (Ron Bjork on FB). Hope to meet you sometime at some SC Events.

Hi Ron, Pete here in Lexington county, near the 44 truckstop. glad to see you here.   Sorry, i m not familiar with that shop.  Most of us have learned to do our own wrenching and rely on social networking.  The Vanagon is a unique machine.  

  I work at the Columbia airport on the third shift,  if you have tech questions text me at 757-769-6927

Theres a guy restoring a couple 23 window buses in a rented garage by the Stihl chainsaw shop  on route 1.  He usually knows what shows are going on and told me about the vw graveyard in Orangeburg.
