Hi Chris and the rest of ya  ! 

Well, I guess my Vanagon is a "low mileage" -88 with only 112K mi on the clock and with no major problems, just a bit of bucking and stalling from time to time, all factory stock ( well not the bucking and stalling I hope ;) ) clutch, gearbox, gaskets and so on, guess my time will come so Iīve started to look for som convertion parts ei a broken diesel from which I can pick all needy parts and then decide weather itīs gonna be diesel or gas.
