Are there schematics available for the cabinetry in the westy? I'd kind of
like to have a modified form of it in my non westy vanagon.... Like with
nothing that blocks the view out of any of the windows, hence no rear
closet, and to be able to turn the drivers seat around so that it faces the
rear.... Internet Bat Mobile (IBM) is what I'm after... of course that's
ironic because I'll be using an apple laptop, just the chip might be made by
IBM...
