I will have an 88 Westy, pretty much like the one in question, only
beautifuler! I wasn't planning on posting this until I was further
into the project, but this seems apropo, as you guys are ogling one
that is the same model, year and color as mine. It will be available
this spring :

Stock 2.1 with new fuel lines, runs great*
New gas tank, sender and seal kit*
Brake job and brake fluid flush
New ignition switch*
New head light relay kit
New auxiliary battery with new isolator
All fluids freshly replaced
New Atwood furnace
New 3 window pop top canvas
Pop top and cargo hold removed and repainted with new stickers front and rear
New SS cargo tie downs
New skylight with all new SS hardware
Exterior SS hardware kit
Good Year M&S, properly rated 215-75-15s*
SA Rheins from GWesty*
New GWesty bra (covers bumper)*
Items with asterisk are complete. The remaining items are not
complete/installed, but most of these have been purchased. This is my
winter project. My intended finish line is April.
The van is safely stored in the garage and, since I'm at work, I can't
post the mileage. My mind being what it is, I can't really recall it,
but I do know it is low and it is the real mileage. Equipped as
mentioned above, I will be asking around 20K.
A little background on me : this type of thing has been my hobby since
1977. I typically fix these up and turn them into my daily drivers,
then sell them and go on to the next. The financing is usually out of
pocket, though, from time to time, I do bring in money from parting
out vans. I've dealt with a number of list members. I've bought and
sold parts and vans, and even donated parts. I've sold vans on
commission, for those not endeared to the process. I've even done this
for free. All of the work I do on other people's vans I do gratis.
Most of this I am able to do because of the information I get from
this list and others.......
