So Skippy needs some work and Im poor, so I propose the following:

I want to trade my 1981 Vanagon ASI Riviera Camper for a Westy in good
mechanical condition (also willing to add cash to sweeten the deal).
Specs on my van:

- 2.0L - Reads 0lbs compression on #3, still runs OK and has good
compression on all other cylinders (105lbs.).  May be burnt piston, may
be valves.  Either way it needs engine work

- Automatic works good, drips a little

- Tight front end

- New tires with 300 miles on them (185/R14C 8-ply tires D Load Range)

- New rear shocks with 300 miles on them

- New rear brake shoes, and turned drums 300 miles ago.

- Dent & Rust free, looks nice, paint may be a little thin.

- Interior in excellent condition, cabinets look new.  Has stove w/vent
fan, sink, water tank, Dometic 215 Fridge (Cold to 35 degrees F),
propane tank (same as a westy), removable porta-potti, removable center
game table, fold out bed, roof pop top (straight up) w/ bed upstairs
(canvas in good shape, no holes or tears) (It all works). Lights over
sink, in middle, and above downstairs bed. Gray water tank.  Screen for
rear hatch.  Dual battery setup w/battery condition meters and 110VAC
charging system.  Interior plush and looks new, front seats a little
worn.  Swivel front seats.

- AM/FM tape deck.

- Some spare parts and other neat stuff.

- Receipts back to 95, tons of work done already!

Trade for any year westy in good mechanical shape.(Can offer some cash
in addition to trade)  Or make me a reasonable cash offer.

I'm located in Mass, near NH border.

THANKS :(
