And here is my old blue bus, now up for sale in the UK. Quite a hefty price tag [emoji15] http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-vans/volkswagen/westfalia-type-2/180928

Hi Bigbear, they are reflectors :mrgreen:

Took my '72 Westy around the block for the first time today! Huge milestone for me as I bought it as a non runner in July 2009. Here is a pic with a earlybay sticker in the rear window:

Got my '72 back from the spraypainter. Now they can keep eachother company.

Hi guy's, my gear change was sloppy. It was so bad that I had to fish around to find the gears the whole time. Today I made a replacement front guide bush since you cannot buy them off the shelf over here. I can now actually drive the bus without fear of trying to find gears and holding up traffic.

Your tail lights look a lot different compared to the 'regular' Brasilian bus though.

I am not sure what to make of that. Maybe Fig (resident fleetline guru) could could tell us how that is possible :D I have sent him a PM. Regardless, this is a unique bus and I am sure it gets lots of attention!

I got my earlybay sticker. Now earlybay is also represented down here. 8) Thanks Über cool

Hi Low lighter, we call those busses Brasilia's over here. They were sold by VWSA from 1976-1978. Your bus is in great condition! I must say, there are not too many of those busses around anymore.

I am from SA and can relate to these comments made. I bought a '72 so67r Westy 3 years ago. I had to replace a lot of metal and still busy with the bodywork. I then came across a '70 so67r Westy standing at a scrap metal dealer ready to be cut up for scrap metal. I brought it home, fixed it up...

Here is a picture of our last campout and the manufacturer badge

This rear is actually a canopy that is meant like an awning for a bus without a pop top. I just throw it over the top to seal the entrance into the bus. I can take some photos of the rear tent awning if you like. All the poles of the tent is aluminum and the uprights has telescopic arms that can...

This was taken at dawn. Please excuse the poor light And a lineup of a few Westy's that were there over the weekend.

I am camping with a 1970 Westy and found this "Sunseeker Kombi tent" produced locally. This picture was taken 2 weeks ago when we had a Bus gathering with no less than 8 early Westy's attending.

Hi Kevin, I am sure I have a few lying around in my garage. I am on holiday at the coast at the moment, but will have a look when I return home in a week or so. Greetings from South Africa, Diedrich

I found this tag under the rear seat

Well, I work in Centurion which is a suburb south of Pretoria. I found it less then 5km from my workplace. It cost me R3000 for the bus. It had no engine, beetle rims, bits and pieces missing but still worth it. I am using bits from my '72 Westy to get this one up and running. Here is the sub...

A friend called me and told me that this bus was standing at a scrap metal dealer. When I got there, I couldn't leave without it I started to work on the missing pieces and it's coming together slowly
