Jason, if it were my bus I'd do a full mechanical resto on it, fix the structural rust, put the "wizz bang" door back on the side, then do a "paint and patina preservation". The '70's "Love Generation" artwork on that van is worth keeping as original. It'd be a big hit at VW meets. You might even be able to rent it out as a "period correct" movie prop for surfing movies. Great score man...
