our 71 came as an empty rolling body with a new paint job, so new interior with fridge and sink, solar power, 16"wheel/tire, and a subi swap, basically a modernized utility vehicle that you can daily drive with heat and defrost, and accessory diesel heater for camping.

I used a 8mm thick yoga mat glued and trimmed on the platform, I’ll use an inflatable mattress for added comfort

I use Driven HR4 10W-30 , I can get it down the street from work. the wifes 2110cc uses Penngrade1 10W40

you should be using the weight of oil that gives you 10 psi per 1000rpm when hot, for mine it's 10w30, because I have a blueprinted oil pump that flows well and has tight tolerances.

A little fishing line and a pair of pliers and you could leave behind some funky wind chimes at your local campground

my 71 westy , not too many pics of it out of the garage yet, finished the EJ2.5 swap last fall , and it spent all winter getting a new interior, just repairing the pop top and tent now https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/2462388.jpg

The location for the rear roof supports has 6 different screw holes where the PO had tried to screw it down, and they were just laying...

I have mine all built except for this bar? i don't get how that is supposed to hold that pillow section up very well

do you have a local wood specialist that carries baltic birch plywood? that's what you're looking for. Its thinner layers and no voids in the plies. commonly used in homebuilt aircraft and high end cabinets, and also comes in 5 ft x 5 ft sheets, which also works great for doing the floor as well.

The exhaust clamp and inductive clamp for rpm make it easy to use on pretty much anything https://www.innovatemotorsports.com/o2-sensor-exhaust-clamp.html

Usually in the collector, but the vintage speed exhaust has them on the ends of the muffler, or there is a bolt on tailpipe mount for those who don’t have an O2 bung in the exhaust

i have the innovate LM2 , it is invaluable for getting the jetting of your carburetors into the correct range. Most people are driving around with a rich mixture and have no clue, because it "runs good" the LM2 logs the info too so you can download it and graph it to see what's happening...
