Hell, it sort of looks like the van I'll probably wind up with, roof parts
of an 80 Westy, a late model tan interior, Real Westy seats out of an 82, an
84 WCooled body, SA headlights, and a engine transplant.

Of course I would never paint over my fade sheetbrown and yeller paintjob
for a color like that. And shag carpeting? Nope.
