Hi John,

Here are some photos that I took when I did my Westy conversion.

Hopefully they will be of some help:

I put the Westy roof and interior from an '82 air-cooled in an '87 Syncro.
The albums run from 1 through 9 and then A through C in the progression of
work.

Other pictures of a conversion done by Stuart Black are at:

Stu's site was where I got my inspiration from, an A-Ha! moment.

Cheers,

Dave
