    Wiper arm clip

    Can the ball joint style cup / clip that connects the wiper arm running from wiper motor out to the wiper spindle be replaced? If so where do you purchase them from? If not I guess the arm has to be replaced? Would anyone have a spare (Long)arm?

    68 Westy Resto

    Time for an update, although all of this happened a while ago now! The strip of the bus continued during early to Mid 2013. I was amazed how well the van came apart. There was no real struggles with any areas. I guess the most difficult items to remove were the handbrake lever due to a badly...

    Restoration recommendations Cheshire

    My van is currently with Drew and Stu, I can't recommend them enough. They are re-working some shocking repairs that were carried out elsewhere and have been amazing, constantly giving fantastic advice. The quality of their work is superb.

    68 Westy Resto

    Here's some images of the areas that would require repair. So these were the initial areas that were of concern to me. The front panel had seen some accident damage at some time. It was huge concern of mine as I was reading horror stories of good replacement front panels...

    68 Westy Resto

    After having such a great time in a hired late Bay Westy back in 2010 we decided that a VW campervan was something which we would love to own. The van was to be something that would be loved by both us and the children. We started the usual research and soon realised that we loved the look of...

    Hi and Thank you all for the points and advice. Yes I have the bus back and paid in full, its a long story and one I wish to be a little quiet about at the moment. Maybe until or if things get sorted. Thanks once again for your advice

If so did you seek legal advice or can you give me any advice on who to turn to if trying to claim some of the hard earned cash back? I have spoken to citizens...

    Nice bus spotted

    Saw a lovely looking early bay deluxe cruising on the roads close to Abingdon (Oxfordshire) on Thursday evening? The reg started GOF, looked as if it was painted in Savannah beige. Does anybody know who it is belongs too?

    MEB steering box conversion

    Great news Pieman. I was not aware that Midland Early Bay supplied a kit for the late bay steering box. I recall a post from Stuart at Midland Paintwerks explaining how he had added a late bay steering box to his bus. I am guessing it is the same conversion? Maybe something for me to consider...
