Very ambitious. Would you be interested in a totally non-rusted 84 Vanagon body/chassis ? has an Oregon title, located in So. Oregon. ( can be restored to a full 'runner' if anyone is interested, though I regard it more as a Storage Unit, or possibly for mocking-up Engine Conversion projects in. ) I also have, btw, and 85 shell from which body / frame parts can be cut. I also have, fwiw .. an 82 Canadian Model Diesel Vagabond, no title. darn ...I also have full 84 GL tintop no-title 84 as well. with such severe rust I suspect it will be a long time before needing to think about what color to paint it. Just as long as you are enjoying it, that's the main thing ! stay cozy.
