I never messed with a headliner, but you do know the windshield and both cargo windows need to be removed in order to replace the liner correctly.

Im aware, already have new seals for all of them… will also probably end up replacing the windshield.

that would be a good time to do the repaint in pepto pink also. but in all honesty if your going to repaint when windows are all out is the correct time. its a very slippery slope of how far to go when you start vs driving and enjoying. thats the reason i have multiple cause one always has to be on the road and multiple in different stages of fixing or starting s*** i shouldn't have.

Yep, get the roof rust taken care of while the headliner is out.

I’ll echo what some others have shared, just drive and enjoy it. Getting it and keeping it perfect is difficult, time consuming and expensive. Pockets of rust are popping out on mine like small pox but I just keep wheeling it with my kiddos because fixing it all is like a snowball from hell. Welcome to the Sty!

I know how much you guys love the color so I figured I’d share what I was planning on doing with it.

Since the color is originally a VW Mango Green I wanted to mock-up how it would look matched with one of the complimentary colors they would use on the two-tone microbuses: Seagull Grey.

I actually like the way it looks!
(It’s ok you can hate it)

On another note… pretty sure I need a new throwout bearing, so I guess some preventative maintenance is in order when I go to swap that out.

Exciting times ahead…

Looks just like yours except it has a rear axle under it. (I’ll let myself out now.)
