My brother has been busy fixing up his replacement VW van. His old 71 he had owned since 1978, and mechanically it was perfect and obviously just the way he wanted it as far as equipment and layout. The new to him 71 has been a show car for many years, and driven very little. He is loving the roof mounted AC unit, and plugs it into the house, and can work on the interior in comfort. He has ripped out 100 pounds of fancy tile and fru fru curtains are now replaced with canvas. The shower is gone, as is the TV. The sliding door on the side is tricky to get to work perfectly and open with the pull on the handle and slide open easily. The new one was missing rollers and the lock did not work. The good news is he bought the old van from the insurance company and has it stored in a barn of a friends. He has an entire parts vehicle that way. He had to use a saws all to get the door open on the old bent van and to get to the locks and rollers.

He has a car show to go to next week that is a 100 mile trip. It will be the first road trip for the new van. The former owner just put it on a trailer and pulled it to the car show. My brother is driving the car as it should be.
