Oh good lord it's a vanagon already.  Do whatever makes you happy.
Yeah and that rare '87 sunroof van is worth what, probably less than
a hardtop on the market since it doesn't have A/C.  The sunroof is a
great way to do a safe conversion, that '87 isn't going to be worth jack
5 years from now, and less in 10 to anyone except someone who thinks
it's worth something.
