|
While at Chesterfield Auto Parts in Richmond today I spotted one of these. Sorry if I display bay ignorance here, but I'm a Vanagon guy. I don't recognize them by year but the yard locator says it's a '77. Poptop up and looks complete along with luggage rack but the canvas is tattered. Plaid interior, front seats and bed there. Cabinets intact. Engine gone but trans intact. No wheels but hubs, brakes and suspension intact. Crunched in right rear but other panels seem good and no rust. Windshield, instruments, headlights and bumpers gone. Hope someone can use this info. Good luck. |

Is the cabinet laminate nice? They are worth grabbing. _________________ 1978 Westy

Some of it was nice, the stove was missing. All that was left was some shelving in the rear and the ice box. _________________ 73' bay |
