I've always loved the VW bus (and obviously westies). There was a point in time that I was looking for a good 21 window and found some (rust-free!) for ~10k... I am absolutely stupid for not buying all that I could find at that price... :{

Watching this thread with interest.

Good and bad news!


Good news! It runs!


Bad news! Oil smoke comes out in distinct puffs from the tailpipe :(

The obvious answer is Subaru swap.

My experience with that era of CRV -- it's probably RT4wd, but the rear differential turns two tiny toothpicks of driveshafts.

That diff likes to make squeaking noises that people chase their tails troubleshooting, but it's an easy fix. Replacing the fluid with the correct Honda oil takes the squeak away immediately. If the PO tried some fuckery, they may have disconnected the rear drive in some way. Something to check for when it gets cooler there.
