good suggestions..
and the very LAST place I would let touch any car or van of mine is an
auto shop class.
I have seen some incredibly bogus work come out of a place like that.

How likely is it that the instructor is vanagon savvy ?
how likely is it the instructor makes sure that everything done is done
right ?
I'd be  hyper careful with that..
good chance for a rewarding project for everyone involved ,
sure.........just be super careful.
I would tell them about 20 times that everything has to be done to their
absolute humanly best intentions and skills..
and don't even begin to think for a second that is automatically in
their minds.
   It's a distinction that may be in our minds ...
and not at all very commonly in the minds of people who fix or build
things for others.
BTDT ...got a thousand examples.
