hi Karl and Aleeza,

For the mold problem I'd seek expertise from people at a bodyshop or some
shop doing car restoration/detailing. For power steering conversion it can
be done but has to be done by a shop that knows Vanagon well vanagon, cost
is about US$3K (parts and labor). I had it done on my '91 Doka.
