Description of 1983 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon |
|
I purchased this Vanagon in Nashville TN from the guy who got it from the original owners estate. It is in unbelievable condition for a 33 year old vehicle. It is the 2.0 litre air cooled engine with 4 spd trans. It runs/drives/stops amazing. Very smooth to drive and comfortable. Paint is all original with minor dent/damage to drivers side as seen. Interior is as near to perfect as you can get. I have the middle seat, perfect as well. The guy I got it from did the following: --Tune up, points, plugs, cap, rotor, wires etc.. --Replaced fuel and vacuum lines as necessary. --Installed Go Westy 15” wheel and tire set. (big $$$$!!) --New windshield I have since replaced/repaired the following: --Speedometer Cable --Clutch Slave Cylinder --New Battery --New voltage regulator --New mirrors --Visor clips --Installed good used Jensen AM/FM cassette deck and two speakers under seats as well as new dash speaker --All dome/dash lights working --Installed Bamboo floor mat --New rubber front floor mats --New Front Grill --New antenna --Odometer repaired (mileage off about 1500 miles due to odometer being broken for about 4 months) --Front blower motor not working. Have not investigated. --Front bumper pad replaced --New horn --New windshield washer pump --New GO Westy dash harness to replace fried old blue ribbon harness. This is a common Vanagon issue that will NO LONGER be a problem. As I've been putting the miles on this Vanagon a small oil leaked started to develop into a much larger leak! Upon investigating I determined the oil cooler had a split seam. I could not, in good conscience sell the van with it leaking so badly. I decided to replace the cooler and, while under the Van I also replaced the parts listed below. It is now virtually LEAK-FREE. Not a DROP in the last few weeks since the repairs. I also cleaned and de-greased as much as I could access while under the van. It runs, drives, stops very smooooothly. Wonderful driver now and NO LEAKS!!!. New stuff within the last 8 weeks: ---valve cover gaskets ---Oil filter and filter bracket gasket ---oil filler tube gasket ---New motor mounts ---New fan belt and screen ---Center strainer cleaning and new gasket ---Fresh oil change ---New engine compartment seal gasket ---New exhaust gaskets ---New rack and pinion boots I also have a weekender rear seat/bed combo, side panels with folding table and jump seat in the blue/grey color that could be installed for camping. I also have a full car cover for the Vanagon Thanks, Bob EnderleCall if you have questions 513-227-1378 |
