Hey gang, I just purchased an 87 westy and am new to the list and still trying to familiarize myself with all things vanagon. I just found a good local source for a salvage 85 and can proably get what I want from it fairly cheap. I don't know much about parts computability. I know in 86 the cooling system was redesigned. Can anyone tell me: Are there any parts that usually wear out or are particularly hard to find or expensive I should grab? Is there a good resource online that discusses parts interchange between the years? Any insight appreciated. Thanks, Mike |
