Just got this today. I was going to use it as a parts van, but it's to nice to part it out. Literally no rust. A little surface rust at the seams. I am charging the battery now to try and fire it up. The PO put a lot of new parts on it before it was parked inside in 07' ..It even has working AC., new tires, shocks and brakes I wish it was air cooled, but for the price I definitely can't complain. I am missing a passenger seat, so if anyone has one they can part with Let me know. As soon as I get it running I will change all the fluids and use it as a winter vehicle .

Just use it as a storage shed. That's the new thing all the cool kids are doing these days 8-)

Pull the plugs and dump some ATF down the cylinders. Chances are they will free up, just give it time.
