Subject:Re: Was parting out vanagon 90 white San Jose, now rip-off

Last week I saw a white late model (90?) vanagon in a junkyard near me.
I am in San Jose. Is it the same vanagon? I have no idea.

It had a complete front and rear suspension intact but everything else
was pretty much gone. It is probably gone by now. I have seen many early
year vanagons there. But this was one that was almost completely cleaned
up. Almost nothing but sheet metal remained. Well, I managed to picked
a pair of engine mount from the ground left by whoever took the engine.
Paid $5 each when I exited the yard.
