Its stronger, lighter, thinner and you can leave it wood grain, or you can flat it down, and paint it high gloss.

That's what I would do.

Me too, when I was a student I built up the inside of my Kombi as a camper with Marine ply crates. Took a gas flame to it and varnished lasted forever. Friend made his from standard ply, first visit to the coast and it started to de laminate and fall apart.
Wanted parts:
Left sunvisor
Sink faucet
Exhaust to swap for Beetle exhaust

Some times cheap can work out to be expensive.
