I have had this bus for a little over 5yrs now. I originally purchased it from Karmon Konnection as a solid dry import project. Since then many things have benn carried out, here’s a list of what I can remember.
1972 Westfalia American import Early bay – LHD
Body/Chassis.
The body/chassis is extremely original, I’ve had a complete documented respray (external only) and the only panels it needed were due to American accident damage which was a small section of the front panel and rear arch closing panel due to it being bent beyond repair. The decision was made to not spray the interior because it was original and good. It’s had no other panels than these and I’ve many photos of the resto.
New clear front indicator lenses.
New Head lamps.
Stone guards over the headlamps which have patina’d.
New front VW badge.
New window seals throughout.
New windscreen.
New body seals throughout.
Tow bar.
Underslug T25 LPG tank for twin burner inside van.
New wolfsburgwest pop top tent with new authentic westy frindge
New roof seals.
The roof was also painted at the time of resto in original L90D colour.
Running Gear.
Mercedes 15” steels with new (300mile) 205x70x15 tyres. (Fedima Extreme Evolution -rear, Insa Turbo Dakar-fronts)
Calipers been rebuilt.
New disc/pads.
New rear drum cylinders/pads/rebuild kit.
New handbrake cables.
HD front anti-roll bar.
New track rod end.
New complete servo vacuum pipe.
Engine/Gerabox.
Subaru ej22 engine from a 1995 legacy.
New cambelt/tensioners.
New oil filter/fresh oil regularly.
RJES conversion parts used throughout such as engine mounting bar, reverse throttle body, throttle cable, vehicle speed sensor and induction pipe.
Silicone hoses used all the way through.
Fellowspeedshop adaptor plate and custom flywheel,
Kennady stage 1 pressure plate.
New clutch.
Handmade stainless manifold/exhaust system.
1600 Gearbox has been painted black, fresh oil change.
New urethane shift coupling.
Custom made under slung radiator, with twin golf rads and slimline fans.
Petrol tank has new sender, all the rubbers have been changed throughout (no petrol smell on corners). It’s been altered to have a flow and return for the fuel injection and AN fast flow fittings have been used right through.
New HD battery.
Interior.
AntiVibe Sound deadening added everywhere before interior fitted.
Celotex insulation used throughout.
Dinitrol cavity wax completely before interior went back.
The interior is a Berlin model which I have completely re-veneered using walnut. It has the sink unit with twin burner, lots of storage space. There’s a fridge and more storage. Under the ¾ rock and roll bed there’s the intelligent controlled split charging unit with fused outlets and lighting switches from xtremevan. Engine ecu with fuse box.
New Leisure Battery
New mains hook up consumer unit. (Which still uses the original westy hook up outside)
240v mains socket.
12v socket in the bed front for TV/charging.

Autometer Water Temperature gauge.
Autometer Oil Pressure gauge.
Alpine IVA D310RB DVD/CD Motorized flip up 7 Inch Touch screen Multimedia Head unit with ‘brain’ mounted inside sink unit and has aux Ipod connection box there also. (Its plays dvd’s/cd’s you can add sat nav, rear view camera, dvd/cd multidisc etc. A great bit of kit)
New Kenwood door speakers with quality speaker cable used throughout.
As mentioned earlier I have lots of photos documenting the paint and lots of receipts for the items that have been purchased.
Also going with the bus are 4 standard VW 14” steel wheels which will need new tyres.
Original Westfalia front cab bunk.
Possibly after I okay it with ‘the wife’ a Kynham Driveaway XC awning.
There’s probably something I have missed off but if you have any questions please give me a shout.
£SOLD.
