I drove my 1983 Escatorial Green Westfalia for 10 years and put 178,000 miles on it. I installed a rebuilt engine at 145K and another one at 278K. I never got through working on that Westy until my last job was to take the cash from the sale of it to the bank. That was one of my best westy days ................. ------------------- Buy one of those carpet things that lays over the dash and hides all that ugly.
