I can confirm that Justin IS doing conversions at this time.  Also that he's
a dead honest and hard working guy who keeps a very tidy shop.  Check out
his blog and take note of not only the subject of his photos BUT the spic
and span back ground.  My kinda shop...

I have seen several of Justin's conversions and they look nice. He quit
doing them for a bit as he was barely making wages..Since, he has moved shop
closer to home and is doing them again from what I remember. I do his
trannies and he is a very straight shooter in dealing with me. He charges
what he has to for a good complete job.

Anyone had Grease Works in Oregon do a conversion for them? Not just the
parts.

This is a long term project for me and I am just in the planning
stages. I live in California so focusing on an '82 or '83 Westy.  Have
had two D-Westys in the past as well as a Syncro Westy. Next is a
TDi-Westy to do some touring and replace a mini-van.

Current idea is to have an '82 D-Westy or Vanagon that is totally
stock gone through.  Thinking that a vanagon has less rust issues and
can have a later Westy interior added with the poptop or find a good
D-Westy candidate and pull everything out and renew the interior. Not
interested in fancy just functional and reliable.  Not sure if it is
better to do the motor conversion first or the paint and interior.

Apologize for the being duplicated on other forums as well.

Before kids the DIY route would have been fine. Now I am greedy with
my time with my kids.

Thanks
