I have  for my son's '87 Westy.  Purchased 10/14 for $13,000 including
title
transfer, and since then he's purchased and we've installed 140  items,
bringing the total to $25,000. That's all for parts except for $344  in
labor
(some major exhaust welding). Equal opportunity purchases from all  of our
vendors plus Rock Auto, Europe, and a local parts store.  We  have done A
LOT
to this van!

and then some chick who is gabbing on her cellphone pulls out in front of
you and poof... its all gone ..
and then your stuck battling the insurance company who just sees it as a 25
 year old van...
