I definately understand that, i mostly wanted to see if i could make the straps. If it were load binders, i'd be ordering

I just learned there are 2 versions of this van. I originally thought i'd just gotten like a "Friday/Monday" car. The green one was made in Germany. The red one was made in China. The casting on the bottom of the transaxle well says where its from. Also the box mentions country of origin in the tiny print on either back or bottom.

The paint isn't as good. There's more flashing left on parts. The doors don't fit and open as nicely. The headlights don't have the texture sheet. The taillight lenses are solid red instead of clear with the colored texture sheet. The transaxle had the flywheel installed wrong so it dragged and didn't want to coast down at all. The steering wheels are looser on the knuckle pins. It's still pretty nice, there just wasn't the same attention to detail.

If anyone got a china made VW Type 2 due to this thread and is unhappy with it, my bad.
