        Actually, if I rememeber correctly, the body is the same. The hole
is cut between the post behind the front seats to the post over the rear
bench seat. The crossbeam in the middle of the passenger compartment is
not connected to a post which one can see if one stands in the sliding door.
Westfelia <sp?> got the same bodies and just put different stuff in them
and cut various parts out. There is a discussion in the archives by
someone who did this I believe... I had found it when I was trying to see
how much work is involved in making a passenger van into a pop top westy...
