To Westy or not to Westy, that is the question!  Should be an easy
choice, but just to give you more to think about you might consider
converting the '90 to a Westy with the parts from the '82 and parting
out the remains.  Your good engine, rust free doors, etc. should fetch
some decent pocket change, maybe even close to what you could sell the
complete van for.

That, in my somewhat biased opinion would give you the best of both!
