I have just bought a 1985 Vanagon for parts - I am not 100% certain if it
is a real weekender or not so let me describe it for you.

- 10/84 build date (1985 model year)
- Brown in colour, brown interior with the fancyer trim on the dash, doors
and panel work.  Driver seat has the usual butt wear from getting in and out.
- All glass is in good condition
- Removeable forward facing seat that seats two people located behind the
driver seat.
- Full width fold down in to a bed rear seat.
- BA-06 gas heater (works well)
- 4 speed transmission (sold)
- Body is in good shape with minor seam rust at the front door seam.
- Tires are in good shape, although they are P195/74-14s (no LT tires).
- Front and rear bumpers are in good shape and there is a trailer hitch
(these may be sold already)

The engine is the weak spot of the Vanagon.  There is a new head on the
passanger side that was installed a few months ago along with new rings for
the pistons on that side of the engine.  The driver side head sprug a leak
and the former owner said enough is enough (so now I have it).  The engine
runs great and it doesn't miss or consumes any large amount of oil, just
consumes coolant.  It needs a new left head to make it a decent motor.

I will have pictures of the van soon at Fast Forward's web site (
http://www.fastforward.ca ) as soon as I get the van home.

In the mean time, if there are any parts that you need, drop me an email
and make me an offer!

Thanks!
