| | | ^ Bingo. Just kidding, And Claire is a nice name. You got an awesome deal, the interior parts alone are worth 500.00 to someone converting a Vanagon. Happy Trails. '83 was the first year of the Wasser Boxer. They had some issues with percolating coolant due to the long lines, but would have been fixed years ago with updates. Neko, you must have bought your bus late '71. It's a '72 model. First year of the 'Porsche' engine. A clever marketing gimmick by dealers. It was a 1.7 Pancake engine, changed from the upright 1.6 'Beetle' engine of previous years. The 1.7 had dual carbs, the only year before the *K Jetronic fuel injection. The carbs were said to be hard to set up. Same engine was in the first Porsche 914, called the VW Porsche in Germany. It was an excellent car, awesome neutral mid engine handling, and imo deserved to be called a Porsche. The 1.7 quickly got bored, or stroked or both, to 1.8 then 2.0. Actually they probably just made bigger heads. A small 6 was also available. Pardon rant, memory lane, I grew up with these unique vehicles. A few years ago, heard of a company with the brilliant name: Vanagain. They keep them running... Maybe still around. *The 1969 VW Fastback was the first production car to have fuel injection. I had one, let it go due to needing a lot of work. I want a decent rear engine car again so bad I have to do some private Googling now.
