Hello Volks,
I have two Vanagons,
The first is a 1981 vanagon L that has =
198,000
miles on it. I got for a trade for my Honda Civic which was a =
heap!
I had to put about $300 into it to get it reliable. It was missing =
lots of
body parts and had some rust, but it ran and ran reliably. After =
about
10,000 miles, the front brakes were junk. The calipers froze up =
and the
rotors were grooved. Replaced the whole works. Changed a CV =
joint
somewhere along the way. Now it sits behind a garage with a leaky =
tank,
bad CV joint, and blown front seal. It is being traded for a new =
paint job
on my new van.
It is a 1983 Vanagon L with 93,000 =
miles on it
currently. It is a project van that I got out of a junk yard for
$400. Had to put in a new motor and clutch disk for about =
$475. New
tires all the way around $200. Odds and ends =
$100
Approximatley $1200 into it right now. Some rust and two holes =
that are
now being worked on finished off with a new original color paint job for =
trade
for the 81. It still needs a new back bumper, three end caps, =
rubber
stripping for both front and back bumpers, so if anyone has these for =
sale
please let me know. Sometime this week, a new gas tank is coming =
because
the one in it right now got caved in when the fork lift pulled it out of =
the
junk yard. I'll be changing the fule line at the same time. =
When I
am done I will be guessing around $1500. Check it out at my =
website
www.daneggert.com =
Again, if anyone has:
back bumper (chrome)
endcaps front and back
bumper rubber front and =
back
please let me know becasue I am in need =
of
them
Thanks
