It seems that your a perfectionist, in this case why don't you cruise the junkyards and build your own. Buy a 90 (or so), rebuild the engine, pick up a Westy or Weekender interior and you have what you want. Also you know what its history is. Granted this will be a project and nickel and dime you but its far less expensive. When considering mine there was a 85 for $500 and I could have picked up a camping interior for another 300. Figure another 3,000 for rebuild and other parts. Just under 4,000 you have a great van, and if your married you get to here about the "clunker" up on jacks for however long it takes you to get it on the road :-) Thats the real plus. I opted for simplicity: no PS, AC, waterpump. Just a aircooled westy that I can stack kayaks on and go to the river. No trip preparation... all food, etc... always keept in the camper. And I have no fear of driving it through a creek and trashing it. Sean ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
