 Thanks for checking out my Turn Key 72 Bay Window Bus. It's ready to hit the highway for a road trip! Everything has been gone through on this bus! All new electrical wiring. and fuel system replaced. as well now has a low mile (30k) 1. 9 Turbo Diesel engine purchased from Quality German Auto Parts. they are a direct importer of VW replacement parts. . This is the highly sought after AAZ engine code. Has completely rebuilt and tuned Bosch injection pump. as well as new Bosch fuel injector nozzles. all pop tested and ready for a long service life. Also worth mentioning. new alternator has about a year on it. but only about 1500 miles of driving. changed Timing Belt. and tensioner at pump install. new battery. new clutch/pressure plate/ flywheel/ pilot bearing. new tires. brakes are great. new seals about a year ago. all of the doors open and close really smooth and nice. I also have 2 new black vinyl seat covers for front seats. that are not installed. but included. Now that we finally have a break from the rain coming for a couple days here. Ill get better pictures. and a lot more of them. this is the only diesel bus  I know of. and using all Factory Vw engine/bellhousing/transmission/flywheel. no cheesy adapter plates of any kind. Has all new Torqu Flo electric cooling fan. with temp switch. nice AutoMeter boost gauge. engine is tuned now to about 15 lbs of boost. Runs awesome. get stopped everywhere I go in it now. Best part is an easy veggie burner conversion. and can help with that if paid in full. Only selling after all of this work due to changing careers and raising funds for start up. Thanks for checking it out. Oh. and gets about 35 miles a gallon in town. and am going to be driving it this week while its nice and going to get a recorded highway mileage average too. I don't drive it in the rain.   Would be a perfect cross country trip rig! or Maybe pull your Ghia to the track? Let me know if your interested. Sorry again for current pics. I will get more soon. Engine bay was all sanded and primed. sanded again. and painted white/black. and has reflective backed wool sound deading material on the underside of the rear deck to keep the clickity clackity to the tailpipe and not in the cab. very quiet inside as normal.   These engines came stock in VW Golfs. Jetta's. Passats. and many more. and have been a very popular swap in Vanagons. and many light 4x4 Conversions. Not hard to see why. with there great fuel mileage. and longevity. many on the road with over 300k miles on them and running perfect.   I have done over a dozen diesel conversions. and as you can see. I keep everything as simple as possible. and tastefully clean. The floors are solid. and look new under the rubber floor mat. overall a really nice van. there are minor paint imperfections that you can notice up close. but just normal rock dings or what have ya.   Nothing major by all means. but do not want to give the impressions it is a show quality trailer queen. but definitely an above average nice cruiser.   Also. has all new wood slat luggage rack installed.
