Subject:Re: adding central locking -- SWAP DOORS and HATCH?
From:Bret Berger

What I want to know is can I pull the doors and hatch off a late model
Vanagon and install on my 1982 diesel Westy?  My hatch is dented and
window seals on the doors are fading fast.  This would give me power
windows/locks/mirrors and fresh(er) rubber.  Downside would be a likely
color mismatch and some wiring headaches.
