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. _________________ 1969 Beetle

That's the part that scares me I'll probably just stick to the beetle and a tent _________________ 1969 Beetle

Go with an earlier Bay window bus. They are easier to work on and they look cooler too. _________________ 73 Typ481

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. _________________ Ya can't have too many VDUBS.
