Happy Holidays Volks, I have type2 Vanagon Westy and after owning it for about three months I've just got to have another VW. I'm currently looking at a 1973 Squareback. The owner says it has low compression on the #3 cylinder and from the pictures I've seen there appears to be just a little rust around the back window and rain gutter. The PO replaced the FI with dual carbs. Questions: 1. Other than the rust I mentioned above where should I be looking for additional rust. 2. I know an engine rebuild is in order......are the parts available either new or used to convert back to a FI system and how expensive are they. 3. What else should I be looking at on this car. 4. The asking price is $500 but I think I can get it some cheaper. Is this reasonable? Thanks in advance for your help and I'll warn you that if I buy the car I will be full of questions for the List.
