Subject:Might be buying'86 Vanagon automatic
From:Sid Marlin

Hello to all on list, My name is Sid and I am a new lst member.Thanks for
being here.
I recently looked at an 86 Vanagon autmatic for sale in northeast Ohio.I know
it will need major engine work or replacement and am prepared for that. Am
considering a second harder look but would like to be advised what ills to
look for structurally. Outwardly the body appears straight and relatively
rust free( for this area) but what should I look for underneath. Also would
like info on what to expect from the auto trans. Previously owned an 83GL 4
speed so have no experience with the auto.
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Sid Marlin
