After twenty+ years without a VW bus, I just purchased an 85 Vanagon. Not
entirely sure this is the van I want to stay with but it is a good platform
to relearn the subtleties of the breed.


Back before time we used the book "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" by
John Muir & Tosh Gregg as a basic guide. Of course, this won't help a
waterboxer built fifteen years after the book was published. So a question:
what is the best book?


Also looking for a good source of small parts. I'm talking about silly
things like window cranks, mirrors, bumper strips.
