Subject:      82 GL poptop conversion
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I am a new member of the Vanagon List.


I have the chance of buying an 82 Vanagon diesel GL in
excellent condition but it is not a Westy. I also have an 84
Westy that needs a lot of body work.


Is it practical to convert the 82 Vanagon by moving all of
the 84 Westy parts to the 82?


I am most concerned about the poptop as that appears to be a
bigger job. I have read the 3 part "poptop project" that
Karl posted but still have concerns about the refitting. I
sent Karl Boss an e-mail but it was returned to me so have
not been able to contact him.


Any comment/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Shiels
84 Westy 1.9L,
Maybe 82 diesel GL
79 Westy rebuilt and sold in Saskatchewan
