and I do not have a logbook,does anybody know what is involved in getting one.the guy used to
work in the unit next to us and has vanished,do not know his address either',will put some photos

thanks for the replies,the van is an Aircooled,the previous owner started to do it up,painted it,stonechipped,looks good from 10feet
it has been filled by fuel filler and not rubbed down as I would do it so dont know what it its really like under the recent paint
the sliding door is rotten at the bottom,never done bodywork before,trouble is it is at work so I cant really nip out and play with it
while the other half is watching telly,will get something sorted out though

Simon Baxter's buyer's guide contains some info about the different Aircooled engines:

Have a think about which one you want and then stick a post in the Wanted section on here.

To get photos on here, upload them to Photobucket then copy and paste the img code from your Photobucket image into your 80-90 post, more info:
