    Hello,

    Been registered on the site for a while, but just got my first van this month, a 65 Sportvan Deluxe. I think the Deluxe means all the parts for it cost 15% more! Here it is at the beach.

    Basically keep it as is, but make some of the basic upgrades others have done, like brakes, and make sure it's reliable enough for some camping/road trips. But I mostly got it to make beach runs for surfing. I also need some seats in the rear so the whole family can ride together.
