Subject:Re: Putting a "Complete Westy interior" in a '90 Syncro
From:Malcolm Stebbins

"Yes" to the grey (gray) interior, my CDN 91 syncro westy has
grey westy stuff on the inside.  However! due to a PPO engine box
fire, the rear cabinets were missing,  I took rear cabinets out of a
junked 81 westy and put them in my van.  I cleaned them up real
well, and painted the flat surfaces with primer and then grey bath
enamel paint and I pained the rubber bumpers with contrasting grey
paint (shoe paint actually) and it looks very good.  It is hard to get
the paint to stick to the 'wood grain' stuff, but worth the effort to
make it match.  good luck.   malcolm s

about going all the way with the poptop (the idea of cutting off my roof scares
me a bit), but adding propane, stove, fridge, cabinets, narrow bed, etc. is
definitely the plan. My current interior is gray (seats, door panels). All the Westy
interiors I've ever seen have been beige or wood-ish looking... Did the Westy
interior actually come in GRAY? I've seen it in Eurovan's, but all the Westy's I've
met have always been non-gray.<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param><bigger><bigger>
