Welcome back to Vanagon ownership! And you've only started with the dash.
Wait 'till you ask about engines, oil pressure, cooling systems, suspension,
brakes, wheels and tires, etc.  You ain't seen nothin' yet!

Added to my list below I now also have this to do:

Headlight Relays
Box flap seals and body gasket
Sound-deadening material
Fix any seam rust (not sure the best way to go about this, POR-15?) Tighten
12v outlet (mine is loose) Check wiper shafts Washer jet tubes Lube brake
pedal & control cables Check ground star block (if rusted, replacement
available from?) Relocate power window switches (GoWesty has a kit. Not sure
if I want to do this or not. Do most people ditch the factory switches? My
drivers side is inoperable but I haven't diagnosed it yet.) Have wife ready
to help lift dash off.

I might have to wait a little while to get started so I can source all the
parts and make sure the weather will be warm enough and tornado free as I
imagine this will take me 2-3 weekends to complete.
