A co-worker directed me to a 1970 VW camper van that's part of an estate that need to be settled. It's been sitting for probably 15 yrs outside, fortunately protected by several trees. A few windows have been broken out by neighbor kids and there's a mess of body rust (mostly lower) I'll need to find an engine deck lid and front deck lid, windshield, and probably won't be able to save the bumpers. I've restored a few cars before and have an idea of what I'm into, but I don't know if these things are worthy of restoration. My main concern is parts availability. Are they still available new, or will I have to rely on swap meets. Also when looking for parts, is it considered a type 2? It seems like they list campers and bus sometimes in the parts books. Are they one in the same for mechanical purposes?
