My Tintop Westy bay.

[freddie]

After WEEKS of waiting my Westy has arrived in the UK!

I’m already in love! A big thanks to Gary (Slammedresto) for sorting all the paperwork and importing this beauty for me!

She is a 1968/69 Westfalia Camper and very original!

My job now is too get an MOT on her and UK register her, oh and also give her a damn good clean!!!

PLANS: Lower it....... Link and Pin 5 inch Splitty beam, Drop spindles, adjustable spring plate’s blah blah blah. In the long run I’m hoping to Dub the arches and do a tad of chassis notching! She will be very very low.

But for now.... some pic’s.... Will upload more tomorrow in the daylight!

Wasnt a good start... the van got stuck when collecting the trailor...

Luckily Rob managed to start a 1950's tractor with a Mini key and a screwdriver and towed us out!

Anyway, finally got there and picked her up!

Couple of the interior...

And finally here she is safley at home...

More pics tomorrow after a good scrub! (the bus not me)

Hope you like her

Nice recon engine

My drive at the minute.... beetle is going soon

The one sticker in the back window...

Sound system...

And this was under one of the seats....

And finally an arty one...

thats a cool little stove, like the bus, is the sale of the beetle paying for the slamming of the bus ?

I wish it was

The money from the bug is going straight to my parents as they lent me the money for the bay!

I fear the slamming of the bay may be helped by another overdraft :lol:

the main thing is that you have a solid early dude, saying that i had my bus all of 4 days before it was in slamwerks :lol:

Mine did'nt even come home........went direct to T2D from Cali.

 

[freddie]

:lol:

Mine would have got straight to Slamwerks/T2D if i could afford it

Stock height will be the new cool soon anyway.... then mine will really stand out :lol:

Just you wait!

 

[dubscum]

there is something very cool about baja's and syncro's, but you really think i will believe this bus will stay stock hight .......... come on ! :lol: spark it or park it 8)

i a more serious note, i think your doing the right thing, saving up to do it right. Cutting and welding is standard on rats but this is a keeper, play the long game, he who laughs last laughs longest

:lol: Definatly, no cutting and turning on this beauty! It may take me a while to save up but will be well worth it!!!

I have kind of missed driving a stock height bus, the best bit is when you break and the front dips down about a foot!!! :lol: Suppose thats better than breaking and your bumper hitting the floor tho
