71 Westy tintop Update 29th October Going to Auction

[privatejobs]

great pics by the way the pedal rubbers go under the floor so when you press pedals the rubber goes down when you release it seals the hole lol

Did you buy a sound deadening kit or just picked up what you wanted.

Did you deliberately line the screwheads up?
Loving the details - coming together beautifully!

I bought the egg box roof from noisekiller in Oldham, but the rest is Armaflex sheets available on ebay but i got them from a local air conditioning parts supplier as i'm in the trade

The sheets inside are 25mm thick and in engine bay are 19mm and are 2000mm x 500mm

3 sheets of 25mm and 1 sheet of 19mm

Only a few photo's, thought i'd taken more :roll:

Finished the roof off












Table thingy on !





Tidied the wiring up and cable tied it all up









Got the mirrors sorted, these are stainless ones from C&C , as others have found the threads on the arms are not long enough and pretty poor quality, so bought some NOS nuts and threads from the samba and used my original nuts and springs off the bottom of the mirrors

Looking at Wolfsburg West ones on sunday at camperjam they looked a lot better than these









Painted the dash top satin black and put the vin back on







Ordered a full Westfalia ply kit from Rackhams, so far it looks good, only took 2 pieces out so far and put 1 up

Look very nice dude

Looking very good Dale. Egg box stuff looks good too.
I'm very envious of your nice shiny louvred windows.

And inside, i was so nervous
