BlankAlso sent this post to the Type-Two list.

I'm finally getting around to asking some questions. These questions pertain ONLY to the Vanagon's interior . . . .NOTHING mechanical! I understand that MOST "first" questions are about TIRES . . . but thanks to the Archives, private emails, and all of the stuff I've already downloaded for Granddad John, I'm not going there. FEI . . . (For Everyone's Information) I am the computer guru in this family . . John might control the TV Flicker, but I control the computer keyboard! So when HE asks the questions, I'll be doing the typing. HONESTLY, I DID try to search the Archives for stuff about the interior, but either I missed something or didn't type in the right "search" words. I DID see the gorgeous work done to an '83 Westy, back in 2002, but I think it was a bit more than I can handle. These fingers aren't nearly as nimble as they were 20 years ago.

I'll try to be brief and precise.

If you can log on to our site at: http://www.geocities.com/nannarose70/pagethree you can see what I'm talking about.

1. I'm thinking the best thing to do is to sand down the panels and PAINT??? 2. Has anyone purchased and installed the headliner available from "Go Westy"? Is there a better one somewhere? 3. Has anyone found an EASY way to remove/rehang the curtains? 4. Is there any way to install arms on the front seats? 5. What can be done about the many cracks in the Formica . . . I GUESS it's Formica . . . this is the worst of all of our previous vans.

That 's probably enough for the moment. Hoping to get started as soon as Lucky gets home from the German Motors Shop.
