Thanks Raimund! I've actually come across those photos before and
saved them as inspiration for my van.
I'm interested in the side air "channels" on yours as well. It seems
as  though you have a plastic channel on the sides as well. On my 87
GL, the fresh air vents are built into the metal frame of the van and
were just covered by the headliner material. I see you have an
additional covering for the channel. Do these connect into your AC or
are they just for fresh air as mine are? Thanks!
