I can't.

You will not find another vehicle easier to fix that offers more room. Seriously.

For some reason I was obsessed with these things as a kid but I don't think I'll ever be able to afford one as an adult, aren't they like stupid rare these days?
Also no air conditioning, that's a huge deal breaker right there.

Not rocking horse, no air con (hardly any heating) overpriced as ever but OK if you can deal with about 50mph as "cruising" speed.

Body/paint shops absolutely hate them because of all the flat panels, and the fact these things are invariably fucked from 50+ years of dings and dents. They have to spend so much time sanding them back for flatness or else the finished paint job looks like a magic mirror.

Yeah :(
Maybe someday there will be a VW bus kit car, and I could build myself one. That'd be cool.
