Great project bus! Solid body with the great enormous sunroof, updated seats (all three rows) from a '89 model, re-built stock transmission, AND IT RUNS and is tagged and inspected and LEGAL TO DRIVE! This engine is a "refreshed" rabbit 1.6 engine with a REBUILT HEAD that could use new pistons and rings--we changed the seals and bearings last summer. The pump does not leak, and all electrics work. It does drip oil. The head is completely rebuilt to spec in an excellent shop--it should need no attention soon. When I bought it three years ago it had been sitting several years and neighborhood hoodlums had broken ALL the glass--that has been replaced, but I could only find the newer, shorter sliding door window and fabbed a seal to finish that. Does not leak in normal usage. I also had the transmission rebuilt (the classic frozen slider) at the Bug Stop in Arlington. Kelly does good work. Seats were trashed, of course, so replaced as above. New alternator. New tires. Body has no significant dings! Some surface rust on the sunroof, I have matched paint and will try to get to that before selling. It swallowed a valve last year, so the engine was replaced with the current Rabbit 1.6 block to keep it on the road, new water pump, seals and bearings last summer, and a rebuild head as above with no more than a couple hundred miles on it...If I were to keep it I would upgrade--I also have a Westy converted to a 1.6td, worth the effort (it will never be for sale). Much more than $3000 in parts and platform for other conversions, but I'd rather keep it together and have it get driven. I'll throw in a Bentley and spare head, and probably some other parts... It does have bumpers, too.On Mar-28-11 at 07:27:14 PDT, seller added the following information: It is also for sale locally.
