I agree with Chris.  If it starts every time and runs a little rough, it
probably only has a simple wiring or Fuel injection related problem that
can easily be solved with the help of the list and the archives.

Somebody save this Westy whole.

Certainly you can sell the complete Westy, even if it runs rough for far
more than it would cost to buy and transport the top Chris mentions to
Mystic, CT.    And you are more likely to sell a complete Westy before
11/15 than a hacked van.

And don't let a good engine and tranny go to the crusher.

My 85 Weekender, my first pop top, has a body that is in terrible shape
from cheap repair jobs to at least two crashes that I can see from
crawling around under it.   But it had less than 10k miles on a NW
Connecting Rod rebuild when I got it for about a $1k.  I fixed a few
things and debugged some fuel injection problems.  It has been reliable
transportation for a wonderful year of camping / astronomy trips with my
son.  I only have about $1400 in it total at this point.

Try some astronomy lists.  I have people walk up all the time at
astronomy gatherings talking about how great the camper looks as an
astronomy vehicle.  And mine is a beat up old weekender with some
cabinets added by a long ago PO.  But it is so much better than a
station wagon or an SUV for the camping / astronomy outings.

Tell us what do you want for the whole thing.  I can't buy it.
