Well, Kim that is just silly.  I couldn't have been more clear about it it being a DIY conversion.  I used a Westfalia Poptop and a Westfalia kitchen unit, and lower and upper bunks.  Now if I had said Original Westfalia Camper, or if I didn't say anything at all, that would be different.  And for those on a mailing list that can't read, the link to the photos shows the before and after photos.

Of course, I don't really care, and I know you probably weren't making a big fuss, but the point is that I am one of the honest guys out there and don't accept the idea that I misrepresented anything.  It is important to get westfalia in the ad somewhere because not everyone searches just Vanagon and the person who would buy this will be looking for a westfalia camper.

And since I am posting anyway, this van is great if anyone is looking for one like this and is the price clearly reflects that it isn't an original syncro westy.  I had a few emails telling my I am way underpricing it.
