derf this`ll get you started on the baja busses. I`m partial to the white bay panel and the grey double. How bout you.
The wire stuff is a basic toolbox item for VW work. Be sure to have a supply of clean fresh fuel coming to the engine.Bob

I think discount tire direct has 15" steel wheels for bays if that is what you mean? Not sure how flexible widths are though?
I bet you can get those white wheels un drilled and tap them for what ever you want.
