Hi all.

I'm not on the Suby list so thought I'd post here. Short story:

Shop owner says owner (friend) of body/parts wants $1000 for all. Shop
has downsized space and is desperate to move these parts. I don't know
anyone involved. Will find shop contact info later.

While traveling recently, and searching for shifter parts, I stopped
in at an automotive custom suspension etc. shop in Sandy OR. When I
spoke "Vanagon engine conversion" to shop owner, he was quick to point
out an early 70's VW Beetle stripped and "dipped" body, new rear cage,
2.2 Subaru motor, harness etc etc. all for sale at $1000. I have NO
idea of engine etc. condition, if all needed parts present, or if
adaptor plate present or correct for a Vanagon transaxle, but based
upon shop owners comments, my guess is that the person who amassed
these parts knew what they were looking for and had all the parts
needed for a Suby 2.2 to Bug swap. It's a classic example of a stalled
project. Parts were up high on shelves. This is all I saw and the
story I'm sticking to.   < grin >

Neil.
