Sadder still, in the past couple of years I have come across two mid-80's Westys in junkyards that were complete. No body damage, no obvious reason for them to be there (like a rod sticking up through the case, etc). Maybe the transmission failed, maybe the heads leaked, I don't know. Obviously belonged to clueless owners to send them to a junkyard. From one of them I got a complete set of curtains, rear screen, and some other small bits. Its a shame, because whatever their issues were, both should have been saved. Jeff

On a recent trip to the favorite local junkyard I found one of the raised-roof 4WD Toyota vans just beginning to be picked over. Seems a shame in that there was no body damage or rust and it was still complete enough to appear salvageable. Gotta wonder at all the missed opportunities for vehicles like this.
