Been really busy pulling apart Vanagons lately.  I stumbled across a '79
Aircooled Vanagon behind a local car dealership.  They wouldn't sell the van
because they got it from an impound yard and didn't have a title.  So they
wanted to part her out.  I am basically tired of parting out Vanagons since I
have been doing this pretty much non-stop for the past couple of weeks.  He
was going to let me have the engine and tranny for $100.  I just needed to
put a battery in the van and hotwire it to see if it ran or not and then drop
the motor and trans out.  Well it sounded like a really good deal but I just
didn't feel like it and I have never seen anyone on the list ever looking for
an AC Vanagon motor so I wondered if I could actually sell it after I pulled
it.
What do you think, major mistake or did I do the right thing by not wasting
my time on it?
As a side note, this van (like the '87 Wolfsburg I pulled apart last week)
looked as though someone had been living in it.  They had a porta-pottie in
it and curtains, and bedding.  I guess vans are good for something other than
driving, and parts sheds.  They must make good temporary housing too.  :)
