My '84 7 passenger was given to me in '91 with a bad engine. I scrounged around and put a used engine and a new radiator in it for less then $500.00. Since then I've put just over $1,000.00 into it (making all my own repairs) not counting tires and fluids. It's been a daily driver most of that time and still runs well. My '85 Westy is another story, though, as I keep giving it presents ... like a South African grille and such. Mike |
