Subject:1979 bus parts for vanagon

If you can, score the motor, and Fuel injection stuff. Other than some
minor changes, this stuff is identical 1976-1983.5. The tranny can be
useful, if you are handy. I'm not positive about brake hardware, but I
think some of it is the same. As far as trinkets, that's it.

However, the body from a bay window makes a nice chicken coop, or small
potting shed. With some waterproofing/rust prevention, it could be a useful
hot-house for winter vegetables/flowers. Remove the windows and steam clean
it, and you could submerge it as an artificial reef/Bass haven in your
favorite fishing hole.

The possibilities are endless.

 usual parts off a 1979 baywindow that can be salvaged for
