Subject:      FS: Parting Out '80 Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Howdy From Texas,

I am parting out a 1980 Westy. I am going to need some of the stuff on it
for a project I am working on, but most of it is up for grabs.

I just bought the Vanagon, but here is what I have been told about it:

The 2.0 air-cooled engine had low compression in one cylinder the last time
it ran. The van has been sitting since 1995 and probably hasn't been run
since then. It MIGHT have some fuel injection problems also. I will be
taking the engine out next week. I think that it would be good for someone
needing a core. I haven't looked at the engine closely, but I think that
pretty much everything is there. The computer is present, but I don't know
if it works.

There is a 4-speed manual transmission. I was told that the tranny is good.
I haven't been able to verify this. I will be removing the transmission next
week.

The interior is worn or trashed depending upon the particular component and
your level of scrutiny. Much of the interior appears as if I can be
rehabilitated. If you have a particular interest in any specific parts let
me know and I can photograph them for you.

I am not a Westy expert (my other Vanagon is a GL) but it appears as if all
of the cabinets are present and in good condition. I believe that the rear
seat folds out into a bed.

There is a sink and a refrigerator. I have no idea if these things work, but
it doesn't appear as if they have had parts robbed from them.

The van is located in Austin, Texas. I am willing to ship parts to the U.S.
and to Canada (if you live outside these areas and are still interested let
me know - I might ship to you). I would rather not have to ship the really
big stuff like the engine or transmission, but I have been talked into
things before.

Everything is sold "As Is." I make no warranty at all. I accept PayPal (you
can use your credit card on PayPal), money orders, cashier's checks, and
cash.

Please let me know if you are interested in anything this Westy might have.

Thanks,
Bruce
