After a long struggle with the insurance company, my '85 Westy is now
resting in an auto repair/wrecking yard in San Jose CA (insurance 
company refused to fix it and finally totalled it)
It is now 'salvage' title which will result in either it being junked or
possibly 'revived salvage', since the damage leading to insurance 
company totalling it is actually very minor (front passenger corner 
is about 4" short below headlights).
It would be a shame to see this Westy cannibalised, as it was a great
van for the 2 years we owned it. Over that period, many, many items
were replaced with new (new heads, starter, alternator, Bilstein shocks, 
alloy wheels, front/rear brakes, CV & steering boots, lots more...)
The interior (full camper) is immaculate. There is absolutely no rust
on this van (CA van, probably never been in the snow).

Anyone interested in reviving this Westy (or parts) can call the new 
owner Max, at A German Auto in San Jose, CA (408) 993-9711. 
Let him know the PO told you about the van (maybe he'll be nice to 
me when I go there for the next round of repairs/upgrades to my 
'new' '87 Westy???).

I also have several items I took from the van for sale, which I'll detail
in a separate lsiting.
