plans for the westy are polish up paint thats there, weld up the couple of small holes on nearside front wheel arch bulk head panel, restore furniture but revamp with a few modern tweks, maybe hit with lowering stick a little, stock rims.deluxe trim, and use like mad..

keep the stock 1600 single port as it pulled 65-70mph all the way home with no probs and more to go

I like it, but come on we want to see more pics

Especially of the interior!

Good buy!

 

[gninnam]

Looks like a nice van you have got there - well done and keep the pics a coming 8)

 

[58herbie]

here are some shots taken today, interior seems to be all there but previous owner removed it to restore it but never got round to it before selling it to us.

this dent may come out or may stay in for a bit of character

 

[58herbie]

front wheel arch

one little bit needing welding on nearside front bulkhead/wheel arch panel

his £2000 engine that has done less than 10k miles with reg service

 

[58herbie]

Dash...

cab floor

build date sticker

never seen these before are these a westy thing , visors with mirror fitted in

 

[58herbie]

interior here but needs tlc

note spare front bumper in deal as one on bus has dent on corner (bonus)

cargo floor is all like this

has anyone ever come across this westy fabric before is red in colour and plastic feel to it..

this seems to be original as rock&roll bed is the same


hope this wets the appertite for now

will keep u updated as we go along

[Araon]

very nice

think the vanity mirror on visor was a factory fit accessory I just bought a pair recently too ...

Basket weave vinyl on the westy interior I've not seen it before not to say it wasnt an order specific variation....someone should be able to help you but I suspect it was later...but looks in good order and looks nicer IMO....

 

[jabbo]

interior here but needs tlc

Jon, I don't think you've fitted that interior right, looks a bit too 'cluttered' for my liking. :lol:

I'm guessing the pop top catch didn't hold out properly judging by all the bungee cords?

 

[easy]

There is a good chance that that bumper is a little of the mounts aswell
