Has anyone ever removed the top on thier westy and installed a
temporary top in its place?

I'll be traveling to Oregon in my westy to pick up an Adventurewagen
(AW)  top. I had initially thought I would just bring the top back
with me and permanently install it once I was home but I am now toying
with the idea of just installing it once I get out to Oregon.

The problem of course is that I'd either have to abandon or sell my
westy top in Orgeon or leave it behind before I leave for Oregon. That
is unless I want to drag it back with me which sort of defeats the
purpose - albiet the westy top would be easier to manage than the AW
top.

If I decide to drive to Oregon without the westy top, I will need
something to protect my interior from the elements for the 2500 mile
trip to Oregon. It does not have to look good or be 100% draft /
waterproof but it does need to be able to make the journey in one
piece and needs to be affordable enough that I can just toss it when I
arrive in Oregon.

So my question is has anyone ever rdone something like this? Any
suggestions are welcome...

P.S. Sorry if you get this e-mail more than once, I'm cross posting it
across the various vanagon groups I'm on in the hopes of finding
someone who has done this.
