This is one hard decision, but here goes…..
Multi award winning camper, cover feature in Volksworld C&B. Volksworld Big bang Winner, Alive and Dubbin’ Winner (Best Type Two, Best Engine, Best interior).
It may have been to a few shows, but it was built for camping – As it should be!
For sale: My 1970 VW Type 2 Westfalia Tintop – Ex California – 100% Solid Bus to start with.
Close to £40,000 spent on this – God knows how much it would cost you if you were to do it now.
Summary of the build
Exterior:
Bare metal strip down – Everything off – the only metalwork required was the battery tray (replaced using the same hand made strengthening ridges as original.
Everything else 100% original.
Re-sprayed inside and out in Beryl Green (VW L478) and Pastel White (L90D) with Willow green engine detailing (VW L-63) All panels hand flatted and paintwork hand polished
Chrome work replaced with new best quality triple chrome (Headlights, rear light trim, VW Badges etc,,) Original door handles – one key fits all.
New rubbers for everything – ‘VW Status’ OEM door and rear hatch rubbers – the best available.
Jalousie windows taken a part , polished with new rubbers between each glass panel.. Both come with matching Mosquito covers.
Front Heated Windscreen – not wired in, but ready to go!
Interior:
All original Westfalia cabinets were removed and taken to pieces panel by panel – these were then used as templates for the interior to be re-built as before but in real wood! Each panel was remade using 10mm Birch Ply with a 5mm oak ply glued as the outer skin (to keep the weight down and so the original hinges would fit ) , the interior is a ‘Never again’ one off – it’s too expensive to do again!
New Birch Ply Headlining, door cards, side panels etc…
All seat vinyl was replaced with a combination of OEM TMI basket weave and smooth grey imported from the US and custom made. Matching stool.
Carpets and floor tiles - MadMatz
Original VW Bluapunckt Emden radio with VW knobs – very rare and fully working with iPod connector.
Very rare Blaupunkt Kubel’s speakers – fully working – Super rare!

All interior lights original and working
Running Gear

Brakes

All pipe work replaced. New master cyclinder and rear drum cyclinders, shoes and springs etc.. replaced.
Lowering / suspension
Type 2 Detectives Narrowed (about 4’’ ) type 2 Beam – Fully Adjustable with Coil Over Shocks

Drive like a dream - 5000 miles since the build – One of the best type 2’s you will ever see – the build was done 3 years ago so will be able to see just how good it was as it’s still as good as the day it was completed ! There is probably a ton of other stuff that I can’t remember, which I’ll try to add at some point!
