Subject:A couple of vanagon Westy questions

Hi All,

I used to be on this list a few years ago but somehow lost it after several
computer and host changes, but anyway, I am back...

I had been looking at replacing my 83 wasserboxer Westy with a Eurovan Camper or
Rialta but all my research leads me to keeping what I have now.

One thing I have to do soon is replace the canvas in the pop-top. I can get the
parts easy enough via all the great linked vendors I now find on this list, but
how big of a job is it to actually put it in? I am not a wizard mechanic but I
usually muddle through - is it better to find some auto upholsterer?

The other thing is more cosmetic - I recently saw a really nice green synchro
Westy with Austrian (or maybe Australian) stickers - it had a great "Roo-Bar"
front bumper and a very trick rear bumper with bike rack.  Are there any vendors
in the USA for such products?

Thanks,

Dave Richoux
