I am posting this to the Vanagon list as well as the diesel list in case
someone in gas Vanagon world is interested in using the diesel parts for an
inline four conversion in place of a waterboxer or whatever, and to the
diesel list for the obvious reasons.

I have a brand new motor with zero minutes on it mated to a four speed
diesel gearbox. I am going to keep the brand new mechanical head.
everything else can go. It has all the carrier bars, every single thing
including a flawless dipstick-style oil filler setup, new bearings, new oil
pump, and all the expected diesel vanagon brackets and pulleys.

If no one is interested in the whole thing, I will see the short block and
transmission separately, and the conversion pieces separately from that.

Near perfect snorkel and hose, split at the very bottom where it attached
to the water separator (got that, too) and easily repaired. I do not have a
rubber elbow from the separator to the airbox intake (got one of those) but
I have one I made out of a detergent bottle and used for years.

The started will need to be rebuilt, that was the point of no return for me
on the project. Too many things wrong with the tiptop to move forward.

What is good on the rest of the car is the complete 82 radiator setup, the
instrument cluster, the 82 style fan, the heater box and core, two front
doors, an early style slider with long handle and an early style rear
hatch. Not even a ding in any of those.

I am keeping the brown carpet. The hard to find shifting stuff for these
early models is in good shape and can go as well.

If anyone wants any nice body panels I may be up for that too.

I am in north Alabama. Contact me about anything you might want. There is
too much stuff to remember at this point, but if you think of something let
me know.
