I just bought my first Vanagon - 1983.5 GL Sunroof with a Subaru 2.2 liter
conversion.  I bought it from a friend who bought it from a friend who
bought it on ebay.  I don't know a lot about it but I have the original
sticker that shows it was a California van.  It passed the smog check with
flying colors as it is much cleaner than what is required here for a 1983.

It's not in too bad of shape but does need some attention.  The first thing
I need to do is replace the leaky clutch master cyclinder.  I checked
Bentley and didn't find much informaiton.  Any suggestions woudl be helpful.

The next order of business is to replace the heater fan.  I have not yet
looked it up in Bentley but suspect  the dash needs to come out.

Of course I will load it up with lots of EuroCampers accessories.  I added
the wind deflectors and plan to install our deluxe dash console this week.
