Vehicle Detail

My husband bought a 1985 VW Westfalia full camper van 5 years ago and spent all his spare time redoing it before he died (without finishing it) this past May on our 33rd wedding anniversary; that's why I need to sell it, there was no life insurance. He had the original engine replaced with a 200+ HP Subaru 3000 H-6 engine with 60,000 miles (he bought it from a Westy place that replaces engines in these vans on the West Coast), he also redid the electrical harness, all hoses, and the transmission. The wheels were replaced with VW Synchro wheels and truck tires for off-road use, he planned to put skid plates on it. The air intake and exhaust manifold were custom made and installed, the welds on the exhaust work are gorgeous. He installed 3 batteries on a marine switch; one is designated for starting the van only, so if you kill the other 2 batteries while camping, you can still start the van and get home.It is in good shape for its age - some minor paint damage on the exterior, the interior is original. Has new canvas top and full kitchen with LP tank, water and electric hookups. I think he was starting to replace the dashboard and gauges, but no parts and the original equipment is still installed. There is a rear A/C unit he'd planned on putting in, but he didn't get to it. A/C installed works fine. Ran great last time I was in it the end of April. I'm sure there are more things to tell you about it, but I just don't know everything about it; someone who knows about these vans would, I'm sure of it. The title is in my possession and clear.
