Yuh, but it's a Syncro Sunroof! I would get a bit trigger happy on this

In any case, I don't think you can approach a Vanagon purchase as a

vans. So we take risks. I did, and I spend many hours under, inside the
guts of, and outside scratching my head. But I love my van. Usually.
Sometime.

Craig-I hope it all turns out well. And if it does, I want to see pictures.
