If I had the means, I would acquire each and every unwanted Vanagon. Make
'em as modern as reasonable (drive train, safety) and resell them.
You know, this might be a feasible plan if we can develop some cladding to
make them look like Hummers or other popular, sociopathic vehicles!

Subject: Re: LVC - Crushing a Westy

dear crusher
it is after all a german auto recycler
and to be fair that means they have kept inventory on hand for us and having
no interest in the parts they crush
i think it speaks actually to the greater amazingness of these particular
autos the Vanagon Westie

so whats on that particular van being crushed that we can actually see are
the rear left side glass (which rarely break
and the fiberglass top which can be resurrected with some muscle power and
good fiberglass cleaner

we do not know if there are any cabinets or seats or motor or any other bits
still useable in the crushed version ...

and secondary to our desire to preserve every one possible
notice the crusher is finding this particular piece of auto hard to chew up
....

so ... i suggest buying every one and storing in your yard till we each
require an obscure part ...
and you thought camping on the street for one night would rill  the
neighbors
wait til they see 47 Westie vanagons in your yard ...
not to mention that at at 500 $ each that is still a substantial investment

yours
