Baz, that van looks great and all that but I also see a "money/time pit".
I'm guessing 18 months of weekends and $40k to get it back on the road with new paint & interior. You'd have to go through every system bumper to bumper but there are lots of diesel engine options now. (The Project Blinky guys started a series on rebuilding a van including engine swap)
If I was 20 something then, yea why not? But at 57 I can't help but feel a "reluctance" when I look at something like that.

BTW If you did decide to go ahead I recommend re-painting it so it looked exactly like this!
- That way you could sell it in about 5 minutes if you ever wanted to get out of it.
The only real concern I have is the availability of replacement glass especially the front windscreens.
