I'm no stranger to East Coast vans that have sat. Look closely at the brakes and input shaft on the exposed transmission . IMHO you will spend more on fixing the rims, brakes and crossing your fingers on the trans than it is worth. It needs an engine too. I just picked up two running and driving vans for about the same money he is asking, one is a Syncro. There are many trying to get out of projects currently. A runner is worth way more than a van with the engine in boxes. At least it is to me these days. df ________________________________ From: pickle vanagon <greenvanagon@gmail.com> To: dylan friedman <insyncro@yahoo.com> Cc: vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:53:02 AM Subject: Re: 1987 Vanagon for sale - without engine. w/RONAL R9's If you click the "more pictures" link he seems to have a pretty honest collection of pictures of the van (including some of the wheel damage).

The rims will need $100+ each for straightening and refinishing. I was only interested in the R9s. Take a closer looks at the van, it needs work as well. You get what you pay for. ________________________________ From: J Stewart <fonman4277@COMCAST.NET> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 7:22:30 AM Subject: Re: 1987 Vanagon for sale - without engine. w/RONAL R9's I looked at the pics last night, can't look at them this morning at work, since Internet is restricted (can't look at anything that falls into the "vehicles" category), but as I recall nearly every one (if not all) of the rims was bent. Distance shots look good, but close up shots show lots of dings and rust spots. May not be the bargain everyone thinks it is. No offense to the seller, just calling it as I see it.     Jeff > > fyi this van has the highly sought after Ronal R9's on it...the wheels > alone are worth the price he is asking.. > > chris
