You know, I just get tired of seeing these kinds of Westys. The excitement at first is soon overshadowed by the poor workmanship. I give the fella credit for good ideas, but the implementation of those projects seem to have been done without much forethought. Making modifications to a Westy is something like playing a game of chess, you have to think several moves ahead; what will the final project look like, how will it affect other systems. It took a few minutes, and during those minutes I had contemplated selling my Westy and buying that one. Then I started to find the sloppy details. If someone didn't have a Syncro Westy then this would be a good place to start. It is a great vehicle, no, it's a fabulous vehicle, if you are not concerned about 'fit & finish'

My two cents worth. David(dsl82westy)

I have to agree David, I hate to see the supply of "un-raped or butchered " Westy's and Vanagon's continuing to dwindle at an alarming rate. I guess I am just a purist .
