All outer engine Components were replaced NEW and updated like Electronic Ignition, ual Carbs, lectronic Fuel Pump, tc.

An 091 Transmission out of an early 80's Vanagon was fullyrebuilt.Also aHigher 4th gear wasput in to achieve faster Highway speeds while keeping Engine at lower RPM's. New Clutch, ressure Plate, hrow Out Bearing, esurfaced Flywheel and Rebuilt Transmission have less than 3,000 miles on them.

Just Installed a NEW Power Jack for Mobile phone chargers. Radio and Phone Jack are Powered when bus is not running also. The original table leg is missing, hough it has a temporary I've been using whole time I've owned it. The "COOL Factor" is, ost Interioris unmolested, enuine Westfalia Camper Conversion. The Tent has a few small tears at the bottom right at back and a couple in front where it has gotten hung up in the Pop-Top folding Rod Braces. I pressure washed the Tent and had NO dripping leaks into the interior. I've camped in pouring down rain and had NO leaks. (I was pleasantly surprised!!). It is a TUFF Old School Tent!!The Zippers on Screens right and left ofTentare stuck; (might be able to massage some lubricant and get them to work?) The Rear Tent Screen Zipper does work and ironically the screen is ripped, hough I unzip it anyway for air flow.

The Exterior Paint was originally Brown and White. Someone or two? had some fun doing their thing painting Hippi theme.Needsthe wind shield replaced; (cracked). It is a 43 year old bus and it does have rust underneath. There are some lower body panels that could be replaced if someone so desires. I do have a spare tire, ack and lug wrenchfor it and can tell you much more about it when we talk.
