I have to sell my diesel van (not by choice, I am currently
unemployed).  Here's the specs:

82 Vanagon Diesel
Light Blue w/black vinyl interior
Some body rust, nothing major/no holes
1.6TD engine from an 85 Jetta
330,000 kms on engine, bottom end rebuild at 300,000
Turbo and injection  pump were both replaced from a lower mileage donar
New starter last week.
2 New snow tires.  205/75R14.  Nordic Wintertrac  (1500 kms on them)
Reasonably new front tires (185/70R14)
2 Spare 14" Rims
New front brakes - calipers/pads/rotors (about 7500 kms on them)
Replaced clutch m/c and slave approx 1 1/2 years ago.
Rear brakes are approx. 2 years old, check recently lots of pad still
Driveshafts replaced last winter
Class I trailer hitch 

I did the conversion about 2 years ago with the TD motor.  Has been a
good reliable vehicle.   The motor could use new mounts though.   The
TD engine provides plenty of power in town, but could use better
gearing for the highway.  Towing power is ok too.  I have on occasion
used it to tow my 89 Golf race car to the track without any problems.  
Was able to reach 100 km/hr without any problems.   The van also has a
diesel heater for the rear passengers, but isn't working right now.   
The van was EXCELLENT in the snow with the new snow tires.    

Price:  $2200 Canadian.  FIRM.   I have probably spend almost twice
that.
