Tim,
I have to agree it broke my heart to part a white 87 sunroof out because
there was so little interest.
It was worth more in parts than as a project,
So many folks around here dont have the ability to rebuild vanagon motors.

I still have the sunroof roof sitting on a lumber cart hopefully to put on
my 89 next spring.
At least the sunroof will live on eventually.

Doug
