Yes, I started collecting information regarding importation. I was in contact with VW SA and was referred to another individual (I lost his name and all my emails since). I also contacted I-don't-now-how-many shippers. Some said no way and some said they could do the shipping. I never really had a definate no-it-can't-be-done from anyone. It's just that your the guy that has to put and keep all the ducks in the row (contacts, paperwork, $ estimates, etc.) I got busy and never followed up. Knowing how much they change the Vanagon year to year, there is a good chance it is not all that much different structurally if at all. If you find out anything, I would be interested although I not all that excited about the larger side windows. But I am exicted about NO RUST! Hey.
