1988 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Westfalia Description

After owning this van and living the van life out of it for the past couple of years...I've decided to sell it to buy a house. This is a 1988 Westfalia with the full camper setup and air conditioning (though not hooked up): stove, sink, fride, and bed in the rear. It is an automatic. It has a Subaru 2.2 engine conversion done a couple of years ago. The van has approximately 110,000 miles on it. The inside is in great shape and the outside is pretty decent too. Couple of dings here and there. Below is a list of the work that I have done on the van to get it as close to perfect as I can. Any questions please reach out. I also havebetter pictures too and can Facetime or send you specific videos if you would like.

What doesn't work
- Radiator fan is not working. Van's been fine thus far without it.
- I took out the windshield washer fluid bottle and haven't reinstalled it yet. Has a new pump though.
- Odometer and speedometer don't work. If you're driving the van so fast that you need the speedometer. . ..slow down for Pete's sake.
- Dashboard lights when out when I was installing the master cylinder because that foil is waaaay too sensitive to touch. I use a mini led light that works perfect.
- Rear fluorescent light is out.
