'88 GL  beige over assuan  brown w/ tan interior??
what kinda crazy repaint is that?  LOL  ;<)

first off, '87 was the last year for the tan interior.. (all '88-'91 US model
Vanagons have grey interiors)
secondly, assuan "asswipe" brown was only used on the '80-'84 westy's (thank
god)
no wonder it was being parted out :<)

ps...i still got the westy poptop roof clip....   (shameless plug)  ;<)
