"Yes" to the grey (gray) interior, my CDN 91 syncro westy has grey westy stuff on the inside. However! due to a PPO engine box fire, the rear cabinets were missing, I took rear cabinets out of a junked 81 westy and put them in my van. I cleaned them up real well, and painted the flat surfaces with primer and then grey bath enamel paint and I pained the rubber bumpers with contrasting grey paint (shoe paint actually) and it looks very good. It is hard to get the paint to stick to the 'wood grain' stuff, but worth the effort to make it match. good luck. malcolm s

I'm not sure about going all the way with the poptop (the idea of cutting off my roof scares me a bit), but adding propane, stove, fridge, cabinets, narrow bed, etc. is definitely the plan. My current interior is gray (seats, door panels). All the Westy interiors I've ever seen have been beige or wood-ish looking... Did the Westy interior actually come in GRAY? I've seen it in Eurovan's, but all the Westy's I've met have always been non-gray.<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param><bigger><bigger>
