Subject:      FS:  82 Vanagon Diesel
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

82 Vanagon Diesel Light Blue w/black vinyl interior fair amount 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 2 New snow tires. 205/75R14. Nordic Wintertrac (1500 kms on them) Reasonably good 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, checked recently lots of pad still Driveshafts both replaced last winter, but has 1 torn boot

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 while towing the 2100 lb car.. 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. The van currently has a broken rear control arm. Change the control arm and drive it away. Or I might be able to weld it temporarily so you can get it home.

Price: $1200 Canadian. I have spent well over twice that in the last 2 years building it. . Location: Guelph, Ontario Email me for pictures
