Here is another Vanagon spice rack mod. We have seen a spice rack in the back cabinet before, but this time the spices are towards the front of the Vanagon. The Samba user Tyler Anawalt posted pictures of his Vanagon and he has several of his own customizations including the spice rack above. Click through to see a few other personal customizations that may inspire you.

Check out these striped interior Vanagon cabinets. I’m not sure I could live with these as it would play tricks with my eyes, but the installation looks good. They have a nice Vanagon logo on one of the cabinet doors and seat cushions to match. Nice job.
This 1990 double cab Syncro was for sale recently in Saginaw, MI. It has several homemade hacks including the diamond plate bumper and sun visor. This Doka has a Subaru engine so there is plenty of power. The rear folding bed slides are gone in favor of a homemade bed, but it also features truck exhaust and roof mounted horns. The seller was asking $10,000 on Craigslist. Click through for another pic.
This “Club Joker” T25 high top camper recently sold in the UK for £7,000.00. It looks like the perfect surf mobile for someone who wants to overnight at the beach. It’s a standard camper, but the seller says the Club Joker was the top camper in its day. This one has a lot of character if you can get past the black hubcaps. If she had a set of Go Westy wheels she would be sweet!
This black 1982 Vanagon Devon Moonraker was spotted on The Telegraph. It has an unusual pop top that opens sideways. If I had to choose a name I’d probably call it “The Clam.” Aside from the nice paint job this Vanagon sports custom wheels, fog lights, and the “eyelid” on the grill that I love so much. The Telegraph describes it as follows:
Finished in Holographic Black, the exterior doesn’t give much away, although if you catch it in the right light, it glints red, blue and green. Inside, however, is an explosion of red and white, with a swivelling table made from a skimboard. There are spotlights, ambient LED strips, DVD screens and a black-and-white tile-effect floor. We love it.
Talk about a hack. This 1985 Vanagon has been customized to be a “Doka Clone.” It is currently for sale in California and has 163,000 miles on it. Everything works except the custom air conditioning. The description says, “VW 1985 Vanagon GL 1.9L CUSTOM, ” DOUBLE CAB DOKA CLONE “. My Grandfathers last custom vehicle. It has a 1.9L motor that was rebuilt in mid 2015 and now has only 30,000 miles on it. It’s in excellent running condition, and always maintained on mileage schedule. All the lights work perfect. The tires are at 85%. CUSTOM ADDED AC UNIT IS NON WORKING”. AC can be used if the AC pumps added again.”
Anyone up for a safari? This oddly painted 1984 (zebra) Vanagon was for sale sometime in 2011. Who knows who the new owner is, but his van has lots of upgrades. It starts with a Subaru 2.2L motor and lift kit. It also includes a high roof with a small safari rack, a small lift, larger all terrain tires with two spares, a solar battery setup, and limo tint.
