Shaved off the side marker lights? Just my opinion, but overall that
Vanagon is not my cup of tea. Also

I don't see a muffler though I see comments about new exhaust.

Again, just my opinion, but that sidewall looks pretty "thin". I would
double check this, but Tire Rack shows the sellers Sumitomo HTRZ2
tires are 83W SL and 91W SL load rated. Under rated for Vanagon as far
as I can see. Seller does note that the original wheels and tires are
included with sale though.
