i have a 85 vanagon air cooled.....love her to death,but she is my every day driver.one day her hatch will not open and it used to....not sure how to get her open?
also i had a VERY hard time with her this winter....if we had 2 inc of snow i could not get her out much less through it.only one tire would spin that was at 2- 3 gear.is this normal if so how can i give her bigger testicals.if not how can i fix her?I know she is not a syncro but man she should be able to go through 2 inc of snow. i also had issues finding the roller for the slidding door....i posted on here and this nice guy ended up sending me a roller....to bad it is for a 84 i think so i would like to sell it at buses by the beach for like 7 $ cuz that is what it took to ship it to me...the guy did it out of the kindness of his heart i would like to pay him back. also do u know any one near grandrapids that can pull a motor and give it a good cleaning and tune up.....she is running kinda rough.any one know a good fix for the frount floor panals....the black rubber fell off and i have nice rusted out holes....fun with mud puddles i tell ya. i also have a chance to get a 85 vanagon just like mine but it is an auto matic so is any one intersted in the trany................................
hope to meet some of u guys at buses by the beach........love reading ur wisdom holly
