To be fair he actually explains it very well. He had some extra bondo every once in a while and just smeared it there every time instead of throwing it away...never planning to actually fix the dent that way, just temporarily.

$6500 offer for your Westy? The really nice blue one ???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

I've actually seen artwork like that with bondo on canvas for sale in galleries in Laguna Beach! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Yes - the nice blue restored one owner of ours (we only have the one, unlike some on here), but he only offered $4500 on Sunday!

The guy is a goofball looking for a steal! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I told him he should try a guy around the corner with a terminal project pre-87 non-Westfalia pop-top conversion (American - blanking on the name now) & he may sell it for 4500, but he said no, he wants a real westy only - so he knows them.

I suggested that he look at NADA, KBB & GoWesty for REAL prices/values, before he insults anyone else with a Westy.

We used to call guys like that a Doofus! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ummmm.....this is interesting....Syncro with an SVX engine partially installed...just needs to be finished. Wiring harness, intake, exhaust not done (wiring IS one of the sucky parts). No affiliation, just pointing it out. $7k seems like a decent deal depending on the overall condition.

Oh man, if I had $7K to blow I would snatch that up in a heart beat. Has most of all the things I would want. Dang I bet it sells fast, even to one of the restoration places that get $75K for restored versions.

But you sold some stuff Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ! Net zero gain right ?! What's one more Vanagon in the scheme of your collection? You could get to Arizona really fast too. "Hang on honey, little short cut here...be there in a jif..."

If the Westy sells, I may keep the 'BB' - when Dianne's '71 is done, we'll have a 914 here and one in AZ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah probably a good thing for those of us mid-project (all of us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). Great deal though. The man hours it takes to pull that engine and install it in the Vanagon...big PITA already done. It does need an intake and exhaust fabbed and the wiring isn't done, and you know how fun that is. But it's a syncro...with an engine...for $7500...

What did the MSDS 3.2 conversion kit consist of? I recently pickup a '86 Doka. I prefer the old school 911 in a bus approach. I've run a few different 911 motors in my '68 d/c 911 2.4E, stock 3.2, slightly modded 3.2, and currently a modded 3.3 930 turbo.

I think 'Limogon' would be a better name for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Looks like it was done nicely, but just not my cup of tea. The turning radius must suck.

I'd like to see pix of the interior.

Hate it,

Now if it was a Westy, and a Single cab bed on back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I would trade my 914 out, and go SCCA Pro Solo tour with a nice Forumla V, or modified rail setup. Nothing like a tube frame car, with a Subaru engine, and lots of huge wings to make for a fun less than 60 seconds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Thats just me, the wife might have different ideas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Hi Gumba,
I've checked out your 930 powered bus in the conversion section of Pelican...it's over the top !
I could email you a pic of the entire kit (not in production at this time), just pm me your email.
Basically the customer just needed the; vehicle, engine, harness, transaxle , 911 L+R outer motor mounts (or Elephant racing), flywheel ,disc, fuel delivery system, converted tach, DME /other mgmt. with mgmt. harness.
1999 prices were approx.
$2,400 2wd kit
$2,600 4wd kit
$3,300 2wd kit for g50
