If only the person who did that knew what they did!
I really like those high-roof WWs! Maybe one day I'll add one to the collection! Yikes!
If it looks like a WW, and quacks like a WW, it's probably a WW! Get a pic of the M-plate for sure.
We have to have that verification to let you in the secret society. _________________ Dave Cook

M-Code plate is located behind the drivers seat on the short metal wall.
Small aluminum plate with several rows of numbers.
Please submit a picture of this plate to confirm it is a Wild Westerner.
By the looks of it yes you do.
To join the club you will need to submit a picture of the M-Code Plate for verification.
Then you will be subject to hazing from notchboy, if you survive then you shall become the newest member of de club. _________________ VW Its a family thing !!!

Ok Man its Official You have located another Wild Westerner.
