Dear Porsche,
My 88 Westy wants to be reborn as a Porsche factory official "Porsche B32 Carrara" Westfalia/Joker/California model .... can you do that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) How about with a more modern 3.6L/PDK or Tiptronic trans from a 986/987/996/997 drivetrain & chassis/suspension/brakes to maintain the Waterboxer integrity + more reliability? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ....please don't forget to fix the IMS problem though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I have a donor car in mind, if the owner doesn't object! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)  . To become like these....   . BTW - Before the naysayers & trolls jump in on me - the B32 was real Porsche very limited production model (15-17+/-) sold in the mid-1980's at 70,000 DM - more than the top end 928S/S4s of the day - & at least 1 camper version was produced in white as depicted in the pic of the model above. It was a 1985 911 Carrera 3.2 airboxer drivetrain, suspension, brakes, Fuchs wheels, etc. - to what VW otherwise produced as a WBX4 at the time, as shown in the last 2 pix above. The passenger van was downsized to seat only 6 in 6 captain's chairs with other luxo appointments & features, making it the ultimate mid-80's executive van! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Do some research, & look for the Oettenger WBX6 conversion too. It's interesting & both have been discussed on here before. Cheers!
