How about I trade you a roof clip from an 87 westy that meets Chris' criteria (t-boned hard), for
your van?  I could set it on my roof and bring it over from PA.  You don't even have to do the
cutting!
Save the vanagons!

Subject: DONT DO IT! (was Re: 83.5 sort of westy for sale

so youre going to cut up a perfectly good westy because it runs alittle
rough..      why?   it seems such a shame..  i know where a poptop is thats already
off...metal and all..   i'm all for the poptop roof conversions but it pains
me to hear of someone cutting up a decent westy just because theyre going to
get a parking ticket..  :<(     do what you must, but it brings a tear to my
eye..  :*<(   every westy that ive ever cut up always had a major collision or
terminal cancer (rust).  ive never parted a westy that could easily be put back
on the road, or was running.. and those who know me can vouch for that..

save the vanagons !  :<)
