85 Westy ?

I have a fairly decent no-rust 85 Westy GL that I'll be refurbishing
throughout to sell.
First task is to swap out the too-tall front springs !
that year needs that badly.

Can sell it without an engine if you wish.
or a 'you ship back' engine.
don't know where you are ...I'm in Southern Oregon.

stove/sink/fridge/propane tank removed by someone ..so it's a Faux
Weekender.
Some scratches, no big dents.
Very good interior, top, and tent.
4 speed manual, PS ...AC has been mostly removed. Has tachometer.
Runs strongly too.
but ......youbethca ...
needs a 'real' engine in it !
