You might can call Hilltop Motors in Jax. I know that they do go to auctions to get cars and such. They themselves deal with Vanagons and might can help you. 904-768-9961 YOu can tell them I told ya to call. Also explain what you what to do. I am sure that their Vanagon Mechanic has heard of it or done it.
