'71 Westy - Cali Import

[Eds - Westy]

Been on the forum for a while - been into dubs for well over 10 years, had quite a few Mk1 & 2 Golfs. I sold my series 1 Mk1 to buy my first camper!

This is how i brought it off this forum about 18 months ago!

Just cleaned it up a bit, a few little touches here and there... and got it closer too tera firma! Hope you like...

Welcome to these forums!

Westy looks great, how did you lower it? 8)

The Golf's awesome! 8) A shame you had to sell it.

Cheers Guys!!

Would of been nice to keep the Golf... but no regrets!

It has been lowered with T2 drop spindles and coilovers, and the rear with slamwerks adjustable springplates. Will be taking it lower with linkpin beam next year!

Getting my steelies sprayed this week as well - the same colour as the van... which will look better in my opinion!

Welcome - as nice as the Mk1 was, that was a good exchange of VW's. Hope you enjoy every moment of ownership

Very nice, but i would remove the fuel filter !!

Why is that?

If it brakes, or get loose you may have a fire in the compartment due to the heat.
It should be placed underneath the fuel tank.
