1970 Westfalia in San Diego

[ib-bus]

This is my new project a 1970 poptop Westy , found this camper in Fontana, California.
Solid bus with a complete Westfalia interior , if all goes as planned this is the bus I will take to Busfest this year.
I had to let the other bus go and is now at MCJ's headquarters in Oxford.
Metal is solid, looks like only the battery tray will have to be replaced. Bus is already getting stripped for paint.

Interior needs major clean up but is complete.

Front floor solid.

Found a good radio and a nice owners manual.

Went to visit the bus today and not too much to report.
Engine and tranny are out to paint the engine bay and to service both.
I need to look for a front bumper blade , the ends are in good shape but the center piece is too damaged. I have the rear inside the bus.

Dismantle continues.

Why would the previous owner install the step on the wrong side ? :roll:

Check the westy light installed as a front cab light :lol:

I have seen and heard that people put them on both sides so they can reach the top easier. They can stand on the step to tie things down. That and I guess just for looks. So maybe the PO had one on each side at one time and for some reason the sliding door side one has disappeared?

You got a point there Kim
