I don't agree at all.

The westy interior takes up *alot* of room that could be stocked with
removable items serving the same purpose.

And a poptop, while a guess might be nice to some isn't the nicest place
to sleep. It's more a mini storage shed in the making or a headroom area
for standing up.

With the engine swap I think that's a pretty fair price. Standard price
with the wbx engine intact are roughly around 4-5k for a good body.

Professional conversion probably cost btwn 7-10k. It's got a rebuild
transaxle.

Easily worth the price, IMHO.

Cheers,
Harry
