Bruce came up from Newport Beach with his 1997 Eurovan full camper. The plan was to get this all done in ONE WEEK:
Here is what we planned to get done in ONE WEEK:
Front and rear bumpers and all around the bottom texture coated black
LPG tank brackets straightened from NUMEROUS collisions, then
GoWesty Lift/Level treatment so it would not happen again!
40 hours worth of interior/exterior detail work
Refrigerator overhaul
Two new batteries
Luggage rack removed, brackets replaced, everything re-sealed
Windshield removed, rust around windshield repaired and repainted
New windshield and molding
Solar panel system added
Fiamma F45 10-foot awning
Super Duper ultra thorough GoWesty major service
New antenna
Exhaust buffer replaced (what is that banging sound every time I get on the gas?)
Well, it turned out not to be QUITE so straight forward! The rust issues were worse than we expected, and then we found the engine had low compression in one cylinder, and the transaxle was toast too! So, all said and done, the vehicle was here for about 3 months....
But boy, did it come out nice!

Lucas,
..... I'm well pleased with job Westy did. I think the money was well spent. I plan to keep the van forever. Nate was pleasant and the guy who showed me van for pickup was very helpful. My emails were promptly returned, and had I borrowed the (loaner) van (you offered me) the 3+ months for the repairs, the length of time wouldn't have bothered me....
