wow! this bus is sooo gorgeous! have just bought a 69 tin top in much the same condition this started in.have been trying to decide what to do with it as i have cash to spend on it. rat it or restore it? think this thread has made my mind up!!

Nice one Steve, i hope it turns out just as you want it. Will keep a look out for your Resto thread!

Very Nice Bus, just bought a 1970 tintop westy, posted some pics here in the Gallery http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?t=4911

Out of interest did you buy the rear number plate/surround in this country or did it come with the van cos I want one for mine

 

[dubberdaz]

Graham - Cheers, the plate surround came with the van and is the original from the dealership when bought new. I have seen some aftermarket surrounds for sale about.

That is so cool, having a bit of history with the surrounds. I think American plates look so cool on US buses.

Thanks Angus!

I have fitted up the grill trim i bought from Kempy, i am very pleased to finally get some! Just the touch i was looking for as i didn't want to de-lux her. This was a VW extra back in the day so is rare as rocking horse pooo!
