Frank Grunthaler has created his own custom TDi instrument cluster. By combining elements from three Passat clusters, he came up with something much more complete than the standard Vanagon dash. If you’re a do it yourself guy, he has a website that outlines the steps he took to create the cluster. I wouldn’t call it a detailed “how to” instructional, but he spells out his process pretty well. Hit the link below for more pics and his story.

Frank G.’s Custom Cluster

A user at the Brick Yard Forums sent in these pics of his custom Vanagon interior. He apparently keeps a Playstation and TV monitor in the cabinet that his kids use when they travel. He has custom upholstery and a Passat engine. Right on! Hit the source link below for more pics.

Whenever you shop for Vanagons you inevitably find someone who has recreated their favorite childhood van – Scooby-Doo’s Mystery Machine. This one is courtesy of The_Samba.com, and there is another one after the jump.

Is this really a Vanagon interior? It sure is, but where do you get it? Nobody seems to know. One user at VWVortex suggests it might be a “Claer (T3) Vanagons with Porsche 911 drivetrain.”

This is definitely the first time I’ve seen a VW dump truck. A user at The Samba posted several photos of specialty Vanagon-esque vehicles. This was my favorite.

This one has it all. Solar, satellite, mini bike rack, shades, and more. What else could be added to this Vanagon?

I love the body kit on this truck. The Samba forum member Van-go108 posted this pic with no other information. Enjoy!

This vanagon is listed as crssouth’s Volkswagen Vanagon “TURBO” and it has several hacks and mods. I’m highlighting two of the hacks, but there are several more. The first hack is a new steering wheel. This one is nice! If you look closely in the picture you will notice they have replaced the clock with BOOST gauge.

The second hack is the built-in Garmin GPS. I’m not sure the sun visor is the best place for it, but it’s a nice hack and very well done!

Check out this wood console for the Vanagon courtesy of Modgrain. We don’t have a picture of it installed, but we’re assuming it goes on the floor between the front seats. It provides 2 drink holders and easy access to the back seat area.

Check out this interesting stretch Vanagon courtesy of theSamba. It has no description, but it looks like a Vanagon meets a 70’s van meets Starsky & Hutch.
