Go Westy sells Vanagons for insane amounts. With junk engines.

I mean they restore them.

Maybe put in a bigger engine.

But bigger junk engine is all it really is.

There is nothing anyone can do to change that reality for a WBX 

The problem with Subaru conversions is, the wide variety of engines, configurations, installations.

It would be hard for someone to know what they're really getting.
