Two weeks after bringing it home I finally had a chance to take a look at things on the white '91 Westy. Preparation for an already-planned trip and the trip itself prevented a close look before now. �It's in pretty good shape overall, with a rust patch above the right rear jack point, and it has a few small dents and scratches but seems solid. I've driven it around a little and it has pep, accelerates well and it shifts better than my '87 with one-third the miles of this one. �It has a good replacement tent with an odd window configuration; the single window has not the normal long inverted U zipper but a short straight one across the top of the flap and the sides merely velcro up to it.

The upholstery needs cleaning but the carpeting will likely need to be replaced. �It's that shabby and stained. �Other stuff, in no particular order, will probably be addressed depending on ease or urgency.

- The temp gauge is inop but there is an aftermarket one that looks to be accurate. �However, the red LED begins blinking about three minutes after a cold startup and blinks relentlessly.
- There's a slight coolant drip from the center of the engine, probably from the oil cooler area.
- The A/C is inop and there's no belt. �The PO said it never worked reliably, but I've had good luck messing with a system like that on the '87.
- Tires have good tread but are not load rated for a Westy.
- Stove works but sink pump does not. �Have not tried the fridge yet.
- Power mirrors reflect and do not flop but do not power in any direction.�
- There seems to be a miss when cold that evens out when it warms up. �I put in new NGK plugs that seem to help, but a compression check is in order. �It runs and drives well so it's hard to think this is serious, but you never know. �The GEX long block was installed by the PO's mechanic in TN about three years and 18K miles ago. Van currently has about 228K miles.�
- The skylight is cracked and the lift mechanism is off the tracks.
- Digital clock is dead, trip odo not working.
- Passenger left armrest is drooping.

There's other stuff but this is what I recall from the list I made. �Any and all recommendations welcome. �It's nice to know the work can be done in a heated garage, if I can ever make enough space to do that. �We're still not fully settled following the move so a project like could not have arrived at a more opportune time.
