when I got it I was thinking I could put a Subaru in it and sell the 911. THAT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN.
The deal with the fuel lines is that they may be 20 years old. They split and leak right over the exhaust pipe. Vanagon fires are all too common.

As for safety, vanagons are surprisingly safe in a crash.

And as for the Suburu engine, many people swear by them. Me, I embrace the slowness. When I want fast, I hop in the 911.

Check out the vanagon forum on www.thesamba.com. Introduce yourself over there with the same pics, and you'll soon have a whole new circle of friends. You'll be needing their advice on maintenance, anyway.
