I couldn't resist.  This morning I purchased my third T2.  This time
a 83 air cooled Vanagon.  Good body, white paint, gas heater, roof
rack, CD stereo, new tires.  $500.  I'm testing the engine now but it
sounds good.  Might have a rear engine seal leak but thats easy.
Muffler needs help but I want a one piece anyway.

The problem is the transmission is trash!.  Where is the best place
to get a  GOOD rebuilt at a reasonable price?  I have a good 78 trans
if anyone wants to trade for a 83?


I'm planning to use this as my tool and work van so I'm ripping out
both back seats.  Any one have need of these FREE.

Wish me luck.

I just can't bring myself to giving any of these up, and I'm
