Subject:Would you buy this salvage title Vanagon?
From:BenT Syncro

Hello All,

Recently acquired a maroon 1990 Vanagon GL which was rescued from a junkyard before it was picked apart. It tested as a gross polluter and is rough around the edges. All which likely contributed to the former owner giving or selling the van. Emissions issues may only require a major tune-up and a new cat. Probably needs a master cylinder too. There's small dings here and there and interior a little scruffy. Power mirrors but everything else manual. 

Here's the dilemma. Fix or part out? Was thinking of westyfying, dokafying. syncronizing and whatelsetifying. Would you devalue to buy such a thing because of the resulting salvage title. Doesn't matter to me because I have documentation why it was junked. But since this is one project too many, need to eventually sell.

Thoughts?
