I have lost some of my storage and have decided to part with my ALL original Westfalia. This van is as solid and is rust free. It is all original Montana Red with never having any rust repair or paintwork done. It started out life as original a tourist delivery tintop westy. It was then shipped to Southern California where it had the roof installed when new and spent its entire life in the LA area(and it shows). I purchased it out of North Hollywood.
The body on this van is totally rust free. The sides are as strait a I had the windshield out and found no rot. It still has its original battery tray and the cargo floors are nothing but shiny red paint. The front floors are perfect as well. Rockers are as good as they get. It has a few little nicks on the great patina but absolutely no collision damage. Original bumpers to the vehicle are straight.
I completed this bus as a preservation project over a restoration as it is just so clean and didn't want to spoil its originality and wonderful patina. All body parts to the vehicle are OG not pieced together from a bunch of different vans. There is no repro crap on this van just original Hella, SWF, VW etc parts.
The interior is all original aside from the new rear camper flooring (which is done in original looking material). All of the cabinets are original and in superb condition. I used NOS curtain fabric for all of the curtains with a mint original front windshield curtain. This van is clean and tidy inside. The OG mustard vinyl is also in good original shape with no major tears. It has a factory clock and a working Blaupunkt Emden AM/FM radio. The steering wheel is in good shape and the dash has no major cracks like they normally have. All wiring works like the day it rolled out of the factory
As for the mechanicals...... I built this van to use. I recently completed a 4000 mile trip from Vancouver Canada to Southern California (Sacramento Bugorama, Pomona, The Classic etc) with not a single hiccup. I went through everything and replaced and rebuilt anything that felt might give me a hassle on the road. Here is a list but not all inclusive of what was done:
Up Front
-new tie rods
-new drag link
-new center pin
-new ball joints
-all new brakes including lines
-NOS master cylinder
In the rear
-totally rebuilt motor with only 4500 miles
-rebuilt carb
-rebuilt fuel pump
-new vacuum advance distributor
-new Bosch alternator (went with this for reliability although not original)
-new clutch
-new engine mounts
-all new original German exhaust
-rebuilt CV joints with new boots
-rebuilt transmission
-new brakes with new lines
-new clutch and throttle cables
-all tin powdercoated
-new correct load rating tires with factory color resprayed rims
The list goes on and on
As you can see this van is good to go anywhere you want to take it. Before we are able to insure a vehicle from out of country I had to take this van through a very strict inspection and it passed with no problem.
Here is a link to more pictures of the van.
