    <p>I bought this Westy a few months ago, thinking I'd somehow find
      time to fix it up and use it. It's an '85, waterboxer, automatic.
      No AC but has power steering. The PO started rebuilding the
      engine, currently the cylinders and pistons are out but cleaned up
      and honed, ready to reinstall. The heads were also rebuilt.
      Gaskets, bearings etc are new in boxes. Also new exhaust pipes.
      Beyond the engine reassembly, it needs: tires, a poptop canvas,
      upper rear bunk cushion, rear bumper, propane tank, and a lot of
      cleaning up. Rust: There is rust in the left side panel below the
      hookups and at the rocker seam. Otherwise the body is fairly
      sound. The rust could be fixed without welding by using new metal
      (or old) and gluing it on with 3M body adhesive. I have a donor
      panel I could include, cut from a solid van. Brakes were
      supposedly gone through by the PO but he never got to bleeding
      them. I need $3500 for the van as-is. Located in central Oregon
      near Bend. Photos here: <span class="gen"><a
