1966 Westy Poptop SO 42 Poptop camper bus. Exterior has been primered since?? Looks like some original paint under there but until all removed, I can't say. Interior is in nice original condition, missing a few little things, rear ceiling panels painted blue! but overall a really nice og interior!
Body is straight except the dings/dents in rear corners, I removed the gas heater and popped the larger dents out quite a bit(I'll put new pics up), remove the battery and it should pop out quite a bit as well. some misc. bubbles on outer rockers, some holes in jackpoints and crossmembers as can be seen in pics and I believe in the inner passenger rocker as well. Front floors have some rust on outer edges but still very solid. 100 plus pics of everything, let me know if you have specific pic request.

Engine starts right up and idles, drives good, brakes pull and soft. I was told that 4th pops out at times, not yet on me but only a few miles of driving on my end.
an awesome base to restore, dash looks great, nice front seats, original blaupunkt radio I think? stereo under dash w/ speakers/amp in rear but not hooked up?
Nose looks straight! Primer is not lacquer based so I'm not sure how to remove, did a little wet sanding but primer is thick! I cleaned up the lower front windshield area, there was silicon and primer making it appear bumpier than it is. There are both before and after pics on the photobucket link .
I can refer you to a couple of professional and respected UK VW specialists to help you in registering, MOT work etc if wanted. UK references available as well.
Feel free to email pic requests and questions, available to talk at 760-535-7990 Pacific Time as well.
Thanks for looking.
