I just completed replacing all the seals and scrapers around the passenger
and driver windows on my '88  vanogon. They were pitiful and past due for
change out. Though I have the genuine German-made  triangle glass seals, I
chose not to attempt them at this time. Weather forecast calls for rain and
I don't have a place to get out of the weather once it starts. So I
followed the instructions and procedeure in the Go-Westy youtube video on
how-to. The noise level dropped noticeably. Additionally, I installed two
new rain shields that fit above the windows so you can drive with the
windows slightly open yet not get water inside.  Clear smokey color.
Inherited from Uncle Joel. Also from him, I installed two new trim strips,
one right, one left, that fit the body just in front of the front doors.
Don't know if that affects wind noise or not, but it sure looks nicer.

New discs, calipers, and pads, new water pump,  new oil cooler seal, new
water pump and oil cooler related hoses, stainless coolant distributor
tower, new thermostat tower, new engine harness, new ECU, recently
refurbished injectors, resealed oil pump, recent fuel hoses. New foot pedal
and floor repair at the pedal where it rusted out. New distributor and hall
sender. I'm slowly getting ahead of it instead of being behind the power
curve.

On the agenda for the future, soon to begin: rear brakes (on hand), shifter
mechanizem - front to rear, reseal gas tank,(kit on hand) replace hoses and
lines underneath. Replace rear heater core, refurbish windshield washer
tanks, replace sliding windows (with new) and new seals. Install sound
deadening.

At some point I HOPE to install larger wheels and put on a big brake kit,
front and rear.

After that - PAINT!
