   Yep... That was me.... Take a look at the Vanagon.
Open the front door and look at the side impact beams,
(also doubles as the air duct). Look at the beam in the
front end that makes the dash hard to work on. Consumers
report is for book worms with no brains of there own.
By the way comumers report rated the 1987 Vanagon one of
the worst by back them... They must be of drugs
