Subject:What's it worth?

1988 Vanagon GL, 200,000 miles plus. No radio, but everything else works.
New diesel starter conversion (sick of the old starters), good tires
(General Altimax heavy duty 205x14- recommended by Dennis Haynes) Dennis
Haynes Heavy Duty Tow Hitch (frame mounted).

Appearance is shabby. Faded paint. Needs a paint job. But no rust. Front
carpet available but not installed. Rear carpet gone. Rear floorboard
inserts missing. Middle seat (bench) is available.

Engine- WBX 2.1L/ 175,000 miles. Compression: 95, 98, 94, 29
Shoebox monitor and modified ECU with cable to front of van for convenience.

Manual Trasmission. Five hundred miles since fresh  overhaul.

The old girl definitely needs some major engine work . Along with that low
compression on one cylinder. It's pooting out anti freeze from the engine.

Just looking for opinions as to what it might  be worth.
