joy.. im confused..  yours is a 89 westy..right? and it still  runs and
drives??..  why not just sell it whole?  even in rusty beat  shape ive seen '89
westys fetch more than 5 grand..
i paid $4500 for my '89 westy that i rescued from cash for
clunkers...smashed front , smashed poptop, and all...



sell it!!   dont part it out..   someone will restore  it..   put it on
samba...i guarantee you will get more than you think  its worth..

Well,  friends, the time has come.  I can't cope any more with a vehicle
that  seems to break down every time I drive her, and Matilda is  being
retired.  Going to the happy hunting grounds for old and infirm  vanagons.
I was about to (finally) register her in Canada, when she broke  down yet
again, and very sadly I'm giving up.  (You know it's bad,  when the tow
truck operator shows up and regales you with his recollections  of all the
previous times he has towed your van.  Of course you also  know that means
you live in a really small  town...)
