If someone buys this one, I might be interested in the "custom stripper pole"

GWTWTLW, let me know if you get any interest in your idea. I might be interested in the GW engine if it is not damaged, the price is right and there is some documentation. Problem is I live in Boise so can't really do anything about helping to part out if bought.

I like. Sent him a message a while ago. I'll bet he's flooded with e-mails about now and wishing he'd posted to eBay instead.

When I posted my westy to be parted out a couple years ago, I was overwhelmed with emails. Probably a hundred in a couple days. It took forever to sort them and find the real buyers out of the group. Be patient. I'm sure there will be a response eventually.

Rats! Coulda used the left rear quarter panel.
But, I agree, the real story is that this van took a major beating and the owner lived to post it on CL.

Nothing horrible about that.

one day, we will have kevlar westy tops at our disposal--the materials quadruple the cost but the labor to lay it up, trim and finish are the same, except kev eats tooling and smells like a pole cat as its cut. superior product, no doubt.

That would make a great parts van for me.
just need to source a good westy roof/top and you could convert a syncro to a full camper with the newer interior.
Or you could convert a 87+ weekender to a full camper.
Or just have a hardtop westy.
Or buy one of those new hightops and have a hightop westy.
So many good possibilties, too bad its too far away from me.
Guess I will send them an email about some parts.

I can understand the pictures. Those are the way it is currently. Besides unless you host pictures somewhere all you can post is a few low res pictures.
It *IS* sad. But, if one wanted, one could save even that one or use it as an organ donor. It would take a lot of patience though to convert a window van using the donor parts.

It's disturbing to see a really nice Westy wrecked....another one bites the dust.

| What is disturbing about this? They survived the roll over, isn't that enough? |

They are doing the right thing by parting it out to try to get part of their investment back. Showing pictures of a rolled over van instead of what they want to sell is odd though.  |
