Subject:      1986 Vanagon - parting out
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

List members,

    I have a 1986 Bronze/tan Vanagon GL that I am going to start parting out.
The body is in good shape (a few rust blisters in the front gravel pan and
over the left rear wheel well - and a moderate dent in the sliding door).  I
am going to keep the radiator, the seats and the A/C.  Everything else is for
sale.  It has an automatic tranny.  The engine (2.1L) was running fine until
the heads gave out.  Engine is still mounted to the chassis.  Rear bumper is
dented but fixable; front bumper is perfect.

    Here is a sample of the most obvious components:

        Auto Tranny:  $375  (less linkage)
        Linkage and shifter:  $35
        Auto Door locking and auto window system: ($150)
        Rear bumper:  $10
        Front bumper:  $50
        Bumper end caps: $5 each
        Wheel covers (3): $10 each
        Radiator Grilles:  $ 35 and $20
        Other: just ask

 If you live in the Washington, DC area and want to take the parts off
yourself, I will adjust the prices.  Work number is (703) 697-9015. No home
calls, please.

        The Van is more or less complete but has been sitting for a year or so.  If
someone wants the whole Van before the parts start disappearing, make me an
offer. Picture available upon request.
