Hi Scott,

Stored indoors for 8 years means it's been outdoors for 10. In Quebec
(Where Gilles is from) rust can destroy a lot of cars in that amount of
time.

It's not like indoor storage is going to reverse the effects of the rust
monster; it just slows it down a little.

There is also a HUGE market for late-model westies in Quebec, thanks to
an active Westfalia Camping Club with over 1000 members.

If it's not too badly worn out, Benny Boy could throw a subie in that
van, check it over and clean it up and it could fetch top dollar...
Perhaps Gilles should speak to him about splitting the proceeds on that.

Happy Trails,
