So as some of you may know, i just picked up my first westy! It's a 1980, and it's in contention for "Rustiest Vanagon" in the world, but i'm only interested in the interior. If i can't afford a real working westy, but have a working vanagon, it's time to make my own dreams come true. So....i have some questions. I'm adding a westy interior into an '85 sunroof van that already has a poptop, but i guess most of the following would apply to any passanger van that you're adding an interior too. First and foremost, what to do about the headliner? Leave it in, take it out? Secondly, the rear cabinet will need to be trimmed in order to fit, as it's roughly 3 inches too tall to fit in a passanger van (with a curved roof). So, do yo guys trim off the top? If so, how does that effect the attachment of the overhead cabinet (Which i might not be able to use as well as a result in the curved roof, and the inability to send bolts THROUGH the sunroof). Any thoughts? -Craig '85GL (Half westy at this point) |
