Yeah!  The ultimate upgrade for Steve "Ratboy" Johnson's diesel 
porta-potti!  

Hey kids!  How about replacing those worn-out squashed down uncomfortable 
seats with some comfy full reclining business class airline seats?  
Looking for a pod to mount all those guages in?  How about the instrument 
cluster from a 747?  Ever considered installing RADAR in the bus?  Why 
not pick up a few hydraulic pistons off some landing gear and make a lift 
for your garage?  Instrumentation?  Did you say you wanted some 
instrumentation?  Come right this way--voltmeters, ammeters, 
decompression warning lights, you got it.  My favorite are the "bargain 
bins"--55 gallon oil drums filled with pipes, sheets, airfoil 
cross-sections, etc., of titanium, aluminum, etc. all for a flat low, low 
price per pound.

And a VW Bus has LOTS of space to hold all the goodies you'll walk out of 
there with!
