I am a new member of the Vanagon List.

I have the chance of buying an 82 Vanagon diesel GL in
excellent condition but it is not a Westy. I also have an 84
Westy that needs a lot of body work.

Is it practical to convert the 82 Vanagon by moving all of
the 84 Westy parts to the 82?

I am most concerned about the poptop as that appears to be a
bigger job. I have read the 3 part "poptop project" that
Karl posted but still have concerns about the refitting. I
sent Karl Boss an e-mail but it was returned to me so have
not been able to contact him.

Any comment/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Shiels
