    I'm only allowed to have one Vanagon at a time, so the 85 has to go.

    The good:
    ~35k on rebuilt 1.9L engine.  Ceramic coated heads and valves, new
bearings, pistons & cylinders, oil pump, water pump, and clutch.  This is a
great engine, powerful and consistently around 20mpg
    4sp manual trans is in great shape.
    120mph speedometer and tachometer instrument cluster
    VDO Oil pressure gauge
    Basic Westfalia interior, rear cabinets (the big door one), folding bed
with mattress over engine bay, fold-out table and rear facing seat behind
the driver.
    Replacement black bumpers, front and back.  Back one in good shape.

    The bad:
    S&S exhaust has a bit over a year of life left.  Bosal factory muffler
is ~1 year old (the muffler counts in the *good* column)
    Body is solid but has some good size dents.  Worst is the one on the
driver's B-pillar. Some seam rust too.
    A/C needs to be charged.
    Driver's inside CV joint is clicking
    Front blower fan is dead, new one included, but not installed.
    Driver's door handle is gone.  I'm trying to find a new one.

    This was my daily driver for two years after I finished the rebuild.
Since I've gotten my TDI, it has been my wife's kid hauler.  It has always
been extremely reliable and a great van to drive.
