Well from the photo's you should be well proud of yourself, being a rivet counter myself I can see the level of detail that you have put into the rebuild, I am in the process of rebuilding an early( Nov 67) Westfalia at present and am going to the same lenghts, has to be right, you feel confident when you come to sell that you are not selling someone a pile of c..p
It's a shame people that are looking for there first bus seem to be put off them for life if they are sold a puppy, where as there are some really nice, sound, complete buses out there that are well priced but are overlooked.
Love the original red trim, so hard to find in good condition.
Good luck with the sale and if I hear of anyone wanting a tin top, your's will be recomended for a viewing even though I don't know you, I can smell a good van at 100 paces.

All the best
Ron (Alias The Rocket.) :lol:
