Looks good, Dave, and you can always cannibalize the teener for motor parts if need be.

My scoutmaster had the same Vanagon when I was in Boy Scouts in the mid-80s. It literally looked just like that (with the same dent in the back lift gate).

Ask if the car was ever in Florida or Atlanta. If so, I rode in that van 16 years ago!

We had many a fun camping trips in that Vanagon.

I was in Boy Scouts also, but never had "fun" in a Vanagon

Sorry... no dancing bananas on my scouting trips. Don't know what kind of troop you belonged to?

I hope you didn't earn your Christopher Lowell merit badge?

Wife says the color is less than ideal...

I tried to show her the "possibilties"

If it will meet your needs for a lift, etc then this is really a good way to go. The air cooled part is a real advantage over the 83 water cooled models. I'm running the same basic engine (a 79 2.0L) in my son's 75 Bus and it's been wonderful. He's not mechanical so hydraulic lifters has been a real blessing. All you ever have to do is change oil!
