<< well i am just got home from pa and i finished looking at the 87 westy that
 was for sale. Well the things i noticed that were wrong with it were the
 seals for the poptop weren't doing there job anymore they have to be
 replaced. I looked under the van it looked really solid so did the engine
 when i started the van i noticed there was a sound coming from the ac fan i
 guess on the driver side on the dashboard does anyone know what i am talking
 about.>>

not sure, don't have a/c

<<All the cabniets and stove and the table in the front was there how
 many table are there anyway. >>

One which slides over the rear cabinets just to the right of hte stove/fridge
and one at the front on the table leg attached to the square box under the
driver's seat.  Front tables often get lost, lucky this one is there.  Is the
rear cushion for the lower bed there?

<<So took her for a drive but it took some what of
 pressure to on the gas to get her going is this normal or not. I looked at
 all the body seams and everything no rust i looked at the outlet plugs from
 the outside great condition>>

This is a good sign.

 <<but the guys son follwed phish around and he
 stuck every kind of sticker you can think of on all the cabniets>>

I hate stickers.  They should come off pretty easy with a little time.  You
would have to be careful what you scrub with though,  It isn't too hard to
scratch the surface of the cabinets.  I have had good luck with Goo Gone.
Can get it just about anywhere.  Grocery, KMart, etc.

<< i told the
 guy i would contact when the lease is about to run out on my car. If i decide
 to go with this van i still have to look at one more any imput would be great
 also i notived the shell of the poptop have a 1 1/2 inch crack in it could
 this be repaired and if so how much >>

Don't be too hasty.  Sounds like it could be a good one, but another deal
will come along.  It's kind of puzzling to me why someone would not take the
time to get some stickers off when they are asking, did you say $7k?  I would
have at least done that.
