Just got back from Taiwan. Now I think we all agree that VW was the REAL creator of the timeless concept of the mini van...NOT Dodge. With that said, I have to admit, these guys are on a whole nother level. Gees. These vans are about 3/4s the length of a mid size car.

They seem to love the Eurovans over there. They use them for everything form taxies to delivery trucks. Honestly, 1 in every 5 cars that drive by is a Eurovan. On the other hand, Would you believe that in the 14 days that I was there I only saw one Vanagon?!

so after seeing your page three or so years ago, I have finally found it! A 1985 weekender in no-rust condition. It needs an engine and some cosmetics but is totally structurly sound (as far as I know). And the guy only wants 1000 for it! I'm saving now and hope to join the community asap! You have been my inspiration. I love what you have accomplished with your vw. Thanks and Peace.. I will check back with a link to my page if I do end up getting it.
