Sorry for any cross-postings... For sale: 1986 VW Vanagon Syncro with 1991 Subaru 2.2L motor. Tacoma/Seattle, WA $1800 Van runs with engine conversion but needs some finishing touches. Also would be a good parts car to go from that tried VW motor to an AWD powerhouse. Details are below. See www.kennedyeng.com or www.smallcar.com/convert.htm for more information on the conversion. Body: gray with some small dents/scratches on the both sides. Minor rust at bumpers and seam behind forward doors (Mass. car originally). Interior: Black and gray. Front part (driver and passenger area) in decent shape. Back half is stripped for built in bed (not installed). I have a separate rear seat half installed. Headliner good, interior panels alright except sliding door, which is missing. Drivetrain: 1991 2.2L subie converted using Kennedy Eng. kit. New water pump, timing belt, clutch, etc. Custom skidplate for oil pan and custom exhaust. 5 speed transmission (VW) with granny-gear. No differential locks. What it needs: Currently the motor runs, but the mixture is significantly off and therefore probably not drivable. My guess is the harness needs to be redone although it could be one of the sensors (multiple codes from ECU). The cooling system is also a temporary setup and would need to be finished properly. Transmission is noisy, likely the main shaft bearing. Because of limited time and my new graduate student salary have chosen not to put any more effort ($$) into the vehicle. It would be the new owner's responsibility to move it from Tacoma, WA. Email gholt@u.washington.edu for more details and pictures or call 206-227-9930 (serious inquires only please).
