OH MY GOD, ITS A '80 VANAGON SINGLECAB TRANSPORTER FOR ONLY $750 BUCKS!!!!
and its a 5 speed too, and has A/C!!!!!
There is something wrong on this. There are some early Vanagon
Diesel built in 1980, but they are not five speed. And Vanagon
Diesels are all 1600 cc. I never heard about a 1500 cc Volkswagen
Diesel engine. Additionally, A/C, on my knowledge, wasn't available
that times for Diesels.

Up to '82 Volkswagen used steel pipes and I'm sure, they are
gone on that vehicle or are leaking coolant.
