Official whine about Vanagon vans and parts for sale

[danfromsyr]

I would say it is running driving and stopping.
but that hole in the floor is where the throttle pedal belongs..

then again a NA 1.6l Diesel @48hp peak
you just wire the throttle open at the engine and modulate between the brake & clutch.. it'll get there.. especially if it's down hill.

Not necessarily a whine. Are these factory 16" Syncro wheels ? Or Go Westy or?

^^^ A great question to ask the seller. Have you?

FWIW: I always assume "OEM" means aftermarket...

Those aren't syncro 16 rims. There aren't enough holes, they look too wide and lack some noticeable details.
They look like some rims GW used to offer.

This came up in my Florida bay window search this am. Milk came out my nose. Best of luck to the member.

I always adore the comments along the lines of, "PERFECT vehicle for a complete and total restoration of body and electrical and mechanical!!"

Like that's a huge selling point - where you're all excited that you're selling a piece of garbage that needs everything.

Another fun one is: "Interior completely gutted so it's perfect for your customization!"

Golly, THANKS for stripping out a couple thousand bucks worth of quality factory camping interior for me so I can have an empty shell - that's awesome!
