Not exactly what you�re looking for, but the Thingiverse (a place for
people to share 3D plans for 3D printers) has a small selection of vw
things:

And even a few �vanagon� things:

I suspect that in the coming years, as the price goes down and the quality
goes up for 3D printed parts, this will become a viable option for keeping
old vehicles on the road. Probably a long way from mechanical parts, but
all the little fiddly camper bits are something we can start with.

As we get more and more CAD/3D models for the vehicles, and sites like
this for sharing them, the chances go up that someone will have something
that you can build/commission when something breaks.
