Vanagons, and more so Westfalias, and more so Syncros are a HOBBY
either for your time or your wallet.  If you're not into hobbies, I'd say skip it.
Hobbies are for enthusiasts and lovers of the hobby - if you love your
partner/dog/zodiac more than an 86 Syncro Westy, I'd say pass on it.   Stay
in a motel.   Malcolm S  (91 Syncro Westy that is hobbies and a love.)
