Hey, I'm rescuing the good ones. I have a near showroom condition 82 with sunroof, stored indoors in a dry climate, And I just bought an 83 5 speed diesel vanagon with sunroof also, and when I get that cleaned up she'll be a beauty. I only get no rust ones, good body, nice colors. And I got an 82 diesel westy too recently, though it had a 98 Impreza subaru engine...... Just delivered that to Portland Or. Man did that thing run nice ! The stock 82 passenger ones...........I might give those a new home if free. And diesel westys, if decent and a good price, I buy those .

Chris S,and other TDI, or NA Diesel aficionados; Looking at the Samba today: 4 Diesel Vanagons posted for sale in the last 24 hours. They really don't make a good argument for Diesel conversion, more like heart-breaking basket cases. However if anyone wants to take the plunge they are each "BEST OFFER". Someone needs to rescue these Diesels. I already have my own potential basket case with 187,000 miles on my complete original WBX. Good luck sellers and buyers; Chris C 90MV Vanagon list server + yahoo mail = message in a bottle |
