Hi Ken,

I plan on keeping the camper stuff in case I decide to sell in the future - I can always put it back in. I used to have an 87 GL that had the rear folding seat but no pop-top. I should have put a pop-top on it and called it good. But now I have my 88 Westy with a good running Subie 2.2 and I would only sell it for top dollar (maybe that's what I should do - sell mine and buy a GL and put the pop-top on it ... hmmm).

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Warren
