I'd love to come and get that Westy from you but you're just too far from
me to make it practical.
I'm in Dallas Texas and I'd guess you at about 700 miles and a hard four
day trip.
If you decide to part it out I'd be willing to submit a list of the parts
I'd buy that can be shipped motor freight.
You didn't mention if it had a four speed or auto.
I assume that it doesn't have an Eberspacher heater, or Air Conditioning.
Several list members have done well on *-bay parting out vans.
Best of luck, I know there are brave Westy buyers out there looking for
projects.
