Subject:      70s Westy to 80s 7-pass; vanagon viking?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

In searching for a new Vanagon I recently remembered one of my friends has
an old Westy Bus sitting out at his farm with a pretty dang good interior.
I'm looking for a water-cooled Vanagon & keep stumbling upon 7-passenger
T-porters.   Now, to my knowledge, the only difference in dimensions is like
6" in height but I was thinking that was just the pop-top.  Of course I look
at the bus & it's clearly rounded while the 80s is more box-like, cubic.  I
guess I'm just wondering if the conversion can be done (I'm assuming it'll
at most be a fun challenge) & how difficult such an endeavor might be?  As
far as 80s to 80s conversion it seems to me that it certainly possible & not
so difficult but this I'm not so sure about.  Basically, I'd just like some
people to fill me in on how difficult these processes can be & any helpful
advice, where ever possible.

On a completely unrelated note, I saw Vanagon Viking for sale, thought I
remembered hearing something about it before &, of course, checked the
archives.  Didn't have much luck finding anything as I was hoping for
explanations & pics but only managed to stumble upon vagueness & references.
  I'm always looking to increase my Vanagon knowledge & couldn't find pics
of one anywhere so if anyone could help me out there & I'd appreciate it as
well.  Thanks a bunch guys, you're the best!
