my new ride 69 westy

[mikehowey]

Just wondering what you painted the wheels with and did you treat them with anything before? I was going to to put alloys on '71 Westy but thinking more about painting the stock wheels and buying some new chrome domes and rings.

i used a wet on wet etch primer then 2k white ld90 pastel white over the top

got the canvas fitted on the bus

and i got a picture of my buses before my white westy went to its new owner

 

[irvs]

Oh well red ones gone ,westy pop tops gone there's just my tin top left to do, I'm going to keep this one for the summer till my sambas done

 

[Barkafer]

Ah man, where's Red gone..!? I was liking this thread. Is the new owner on here?

 

[MID WEST DUBBER]

Who ever owns it now is one lucky person! Because that is a sweet bus!

Rusty.

I really like the stance of your vans, what did you lower them by and using what? I've decided to stay with stock wheels but maybe have the van lowered a little. At the moment I've got lower profile tyres on (185 65's), are they standard 185/80's you've got on? (Don't want to buy new white band tyres if they wont fit once lowered)

Cheers

Mike
