Classic case of upcoming VW mania. I would suggest to keep the Vanagon (in a
couple of years it will be a vintage car too) and add a loaf or splitty just
for fun. In winter you will appreciate all the goodies VW threw into the
Vanagon. In summer you can enjoy the sounds of your puttering A/C engine.
Anyway that's what I decided to do. More info and pictures on
