Got one in my yard belonging to a neighbour. It's for sale, see story
below. Digi pictures available upon request.
1986 Vanagon Transporter Syncro window van. 4cyl. water-cooled boxer 2.1
litre engine, 5-speed manual transmission (w/o diff. lock) and large sun
roof. For restoration or parts. Needs much work but is solid enough to
restore. Van is driveable as it is. Motor is running well with no oil or
water leaks. Compression has not been checked. 54,423 showing on the clock.
Needs heat shields, complete exhaust system (new muffler, new front header
pipe, used front header pipe included as loose parts), most hoses and water
pipes replaced and most likely a good tune-up. Transmission seems to work
well in all gears, syncro system is in working order. May need one rear CV
joint. May need suspension work. Definitely needs brake work but not sure
how extensive. Tires are fair but will need replacement soon. Interior - two
front bucket seats with good upholstery, rear middle bench seat in good
condition but not originally from this van so the color is not correct, door
panels and wall panels all need replaced. Body - large dent in left rear
portion of the roof where a tree fell on the van (this dent interferes with
the operation of the sunroof), seam rust on most of the body panel seams,
rust showing around many of the window mouldings (none of these rust spots
are showing penetration), right rear rocker behind sliding door rusted
through, numerous small dings and dents all over, paint is badly faded, front
bumper is fair, rear bumper need replaced (rusted through), sliding door
exterior handle broken, sliding door hard to slide (roller bearing needs
replaced), all window glass intact except for small stone chip in windshield
on the drivers side, standard door rear view mirrors are good, all lighting
is good and working. Heating - front heater fan motor needs replaced, rear
heater working.
Price: $2000 CND OBO
