So here it is. After installing the '98 2.0L Jetta motor last spring,
driving cross-country this summer, and rebuilding the tranny this fall, I'm
now selling the best vehicle I've ever driven.

Specs:
  '88 westy - Burgundy
            - '98 2.0L went in with app. 6,000 miles on it.
            - I've put nearly 6,000 miles on the conversion since.
            - New tranny, including ring/pinion and Custom .77 4th gear.
              Thanks to Daryl of AA Transaxle and Ivan of TNT, Seattle.
            - New PS pump, now 1 month old.

  I've tried to price it according to the Seattle market, where vans are
valued nearly as much as sunny days, giving the new engine/new transmission
combination some serious weight. Unfortunately I'm afraid that only a
current/former van owner will appreciate the power of the 2.0L and the fact
that it won't need new head-gaskets at Christmas time = $15,500 obo. Well,
that's enough. It's painful to now push the send button. PMail & phone calls
only please. Thanks folks, it's been great.
