I just got through parting out an 80 for what was left on it.  The rear
louvres were plastic.  Everything I am looking at on that van is the slight
differences that the 80 81 vans had.  There were some variances on the ones
called "79" vanagons (created early as incomplete vehicles), but I have
never seen one of those that wasn�t a westy.

Remember that sanity is optional.
