My 70 Westy..

[Bwuttonmoon]

Here are some pics of my 1970 Tin top westy which I have owned for about 7 months, I only have these pics taken when purchased which were taken for insurance valuation... I will post some new pics soonish. It looks kinda different now.
Never welded and totally rust free with lots of history down to original service book.
The guy I bought if from won it with the daily star! Lucky sod!

welcome, i think your rear overriders are upside down

Arent they also a mix of US (front) & Euro style overriders??

 

[Bwuttonmoon]

:lol: I never noticed that before, will have a closer inspection.

Nice bus, similar to 'Hank' I used to own..............

............but why are the rear lenses on upside down,have the lights been fitted incorrectly?, indicator goes to the top not the bottom and you've got horrible repro lenses rather than the nice ones with the chrome surround.

 

[Bwuttonmoon]

Rear lenses have since been replaced and put back the right way ...these pics were taken the day after I bought the van.

yeah deffo US front, UK after market rear, we have had the debate about the correct way to fit the UK ones on here before, I'm sure someone uploaded an original broshure that showed them fitted the same way as on this bus.

Love the bus though, I entered this comp..............didn't win lol

Ok removed the horrid East coast slammers beam which collapsed on me (for sale if anyone can make use of it)

I didnt want it quite this low!

The offending article

Niiice!! Play-doe springs to mind.

Note hacked out adjusters to make room for the 'WHEEL BOLT' that was provided to hold it all in place!

The beam to be fitted, prepped and ready...

Standard beam with bus boys adjusters, the beam is now on, just have to bolt everything back together...thursday hopefully if good weather. I have creative adjustable spring plates for the rear.

 

[Bwuttonmoon]

Getting there.

lovely looking bus, the wear on the adjuster is bad, looks like its been slipping for a while. ECS still in business?
