Subject:Rebuilding an 81 Vanagon
From:Patrick Harris

Greetings everybody, and Happy Holidays!!!

I've been eyeballing going through my 81 Vanagon.  Yeah, same one I've been
trying to sell, but I figure since nobody wants to even call about it, I'll
just rebuild the engine and basically refurbish the entire rig.  I'll just
keep it and see what I can use it for.

Anyways, I've restored bugs for the last 8 years.  But, I've never restored
a Vanagon.  I understand there's alot of similarities, however, very
different.   So, I'm looking for suppliers for parts.  I can go to like
Rocky Mountain and pay through my nose, but since I've been working on bugs,
I've collected quite the list of suppliers.  But, that's for bug only parts.
  No vans.

So, to cut it short, can anyone give me suggestions for suppliers for parts
for my Vanagon?  I'm looking at doing the following:  rebuilding the engine,
replacing door seals, some electrical, wiper motor, sliding door panel, some
exterior stuff, etc.

Perhaps someone has a list or something?  That'd be great!  Well, thank you
very much for everyone's help!  Happy holidays!

Sincerely,

Patrick Harris
Longview, Washington
