I bought an '86 Weekender with a Z-Bed and converted it to a Westphalia!
g,d&r!  ;)

And in the spirit of Throw Back Thursday and Topic Drift...  My first ever
post on the Vanagon list,  30 Apr 2001:
****************
 I am in the market for a full camper westy, but come across many
weekenders. I am wondering about converting. How much it would cost to buy
the drivers side camper setup, used? I would need the whole
stove/fridge/sink/cabinets/water tank/tables/interior panel. I would also
need a propane tank. How hard would it be to find these items in useable
condition? Anything else I would need?

TIA,
Edward
