My parents got a westfalia '90, cleanest condition I ever saw, pple stop us to ask if it's for sale.

Is there any known mods for this truck. I indeed thought about dropping a porsche 6 speed engine but it seems a bit abusive and expansive.

At least a 5 speed tranny would not do any bad ...

Thanxs

I got the RRW version no syncro. Also any idea for good looking wheels, the truck is silver.

Get on the listserv there and you'll soon know more than you ever wanted to know about Vanagons.
