Subject:Re: What kind of money can you make parting out a non camper van w/Jetta engine?

Hi Chris,

I'll be better able to answer that after the swap meet at BusFusion,
where I'm selling the leftovers from my 87 Vanagon GL.

The engine conversion alone should fetch at least a grand. But like
Stan said, you will need to be patient if you want to realize top
dollar. I've already covered my costs so I'm now looking to get out
from under as much stuff as possible as quick as possible to free up
the storage space.

Still Available: Middle sliding windows, both front doors, the
sliding door, coolant manifold, brake pedal/master cylinder assy,
Engine hatch cover (fibreglass) and lots of interior trim parts.

Happy trails,

Greg Potts
