Engine $4000 plus core charge, transmission $2000 plus core charge. $8,000 minimum, plus all the other stuff a "parts" van would need. About $5000 minimum in my recent experience. This is a $1000 van that will take $15,000 to get into decent shape unless you have a supply of used engines and transmissions.

It's still a parts van IMHO unless you are a professional VW mechanic who can fix it cheap and sell it for a profit.

Stuart There are no "cheap" Vanagon Westies, trust me on this.

doesn't look too bad.. throw a engine and trans in it and youd have a decent westy!!!
