I have searched a couple of times, but haven't found it...
Looking for a nice definitive list of parts from a Eurovan that would work fairly well on a Vanagon...

The front seats for example are a nice upgrade for a vanagon... curious about other things like seat belts, cabinetry, etc.

Wheels have the right bolt pattern (5 x 112mm) but the wrong offset so might need spacers.

That 'little' wheel would be very tough with no power steering! OUCH!

That's the exact same size wheel as the Vanagon with power steering originally came with. It just looks smaller for some reason. It's 16-5/8" diameter. Much larger in diameter than the 14-1/4" wheel in my F-150!

The curtains are awesome! they are thick and gray so they shouldnt fade.

EV Rear with the slider bars fit right in. sides and front need snaps installed.

2) Isnt the rear heater core almost the same as the vanagon front?

3) window slider locks?
