Hi folks, So far so good. A generous friend let me take many items from my wish list from his 85 twin to my van that was totaled. I have so far replaced the rear hatch latches. Mine were worn from use. This resulted in a hatch easier to open. Replaced the front grill. Mine was in need of several repairs and this one was good to go. It even had the air dams carefully created from PVC flat stock. I could not stop myself, I put in the driver door B pillar vent. And, I’ve been slowly removing the plywood floor and replacing it with the floor that has the rails for the extra optional seating. I have the seats so why not? I’m very close to completion and it is a very nice upgrade. A interesting challenge was that there is a second propane tank on the passenger side. It seems to be connected to the original and then to the stove. At one time there was a heater so maybe they needed more fuel. Now I’d be happy to just have one tank to run that stove. Or at least know what the condition of the over all system is. I’ve also been able to replace a few missing bits so the van is starting to look happier. So, Just thought I’d send out an update.
