Can we talk about 1987 Vanagon Carat's here?

If so I have one I'm fixing up. I'd like some input from the forum on what to to... get some idea's and such. I put a new rebuilt engine in it and I'm working out the kinks. The interor is a little rough, and the radio is missing (just a gaping whole) I'd like to put new bumbers on it and maybe a tow hitch...roof rack???? Pic would help if you have them. I'll post some pics of mine soon.

Everything you want is already out there somewhere. There is a search function, it will answer all your questions.

You DO NOT want to get new fiberglass bumpers! they cost roughly 700+.
If they have chipping paint, sand and be creative. Like so.

Mine's a 1990, but same concept.

Here's what it did look like...

Chipping paint, damaged, and nasty grey color.
