i see no poptop so its not worth fixing.
thats a @ $1500 repair there.   if it was a 86 up westy then yes it would be
worth fixing, but its not.  its just a 2wd 7 pass.

passenger vans are not worth putting that kind of repair into unless its a
syncro, or if youve got some bizarre sentimental attachment to it.

that one is a parts car.

seriously - i have 3  passenger vans here - with straight bodies and good
titles - 2 are '86 7 pass weekenders and one is a 84 sunroof - that i am about to
part out because nobody wants them.

i also have a 89 Carat i will sell cheap.

if you really want a cheap passenger vanagon let me know before i start
cutting them up.
