Subject:      '80 Westy. All non-westy parts up for grabs! Make an offer!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

So a deal has fallen into my lap. I wanted to buy a westy interior for my already poptop GL van (which also needs a canvas....), and one came up but only if i purchase the WHOLE VAN for $400. Well i have a reasonable scrap offer, but really would rather not see all the mechanical parts turned into future drill bits, so i'm asking here.....sight unseen of the vehicle......WHAT DO YOU WANT!? Make an offer. The whole engine, $100 (does that sound good?). AIRCOOLED Automatic transmission, unknown shape, $100?. Instrument cluster, grill, headlights, heaterboxes, exhaust system, you name it, everything's for sale at whatever you offer (unless you're out-offered). The thing is, i plan to only possess the vehicle for at most, 2 weeks, hence the question of "what do you need'? I know theres a few of you out there thinking "Round headlights would look good on my syncro", well the whole setup will run ya $50! (Plus shipping). Have an aircooled engine but need a piece of tin that someone wants $50 for...... buy the whole engine with exhaust and everything for $100! There's your tin! (I don't know if any of this is "good". Assume everything to be cores for the time being).

So if your thinking "I need one of those", and you think i might be able to help you out, I only need a few items to make my dream of a rusty, franken-westy that mostly runs to come true! So, BUY A SPARE! No part too small, no offer to small. I'll sell the rearview mirror for a quarter, i really just want to see some parts go to good hands, and lower my overhead costs.

-Craig '85GL (Soon to be WESTY!)
