Anybody have any thoughts on the early 80's air cooled buses? I like the idea of a late model bus but the newer aircooled engines look like a nightmare to work on.

That's the part that scares me Smile I'll probably just stick to the beetle and a tent Smile

Go with an earlier Bay window bus. They are easier to work on and they look cooler too.

Thanks for asking the question Greg. I was looking at an '82 aircooled Vanagon camper. I guess I'll pass on that one also even though the price looked good. The biggest problem with it was some engine problems.
