i gotta be honest i never really liked the older bodystyle but your interior makes up for it, its VERY nice, the hardwood floor looks great

Thank you. yeah when i was first looking at vw vans two years ago i didnt like the vanagon bodies. i wanted what everyone wants a split window. but when i found this one i figured i could still make it awesome. when i lower it and get some nice wheels for it it will be even better

My dad had 84 Vanagon. That thing was the shit. I'd pile all my friends in and head to the beach. Boards and all. Got my first ticket in it, racing a Datsun 510. :D

What do you mean "not as cool"? I half expected to see a pic of an old Dasher! The van is nice.
