MyVanWay California Westfalia tintop....

[Myvanway]

Hi all at Earlybay.com.

Spent ages searching the W.W.W. for the perfect Bus for me and my family before I Found 'Our Bus' on Ebay of all places, after not hitting reserve I contacted the seller and agreed to go down to Pill in Bristol to see a beautiful 1070 White Westfalia Campmobile that was named 'Myvanway'.
Imported from U.S in 2008 it came with nealy all of her extras and with alot of history and recipes!!
as soon as i got to Bristol I noticed that I was in a large Volkswagon community with almost everyone have some sort of classic VDub on there drive!!

Hope you like the pics of our van 'Myvanway'




Original Number plate from U.S.A. Hammock & stool too!! Original mozzy net!!?? Maybe!! even found a flare in the breakdown recovery kit as well as full too kit & jack.
Note how the DVLA have kept some of the digits on her UK Plates!! And she had an OG V.W.O.A roofrack.....yippie!!

Some parts of the interior were very well worn but her she has been used daily since 1969!!
I only replaced the parts of the interior that I knew were going to get hammered, I have kept it all in air tight bags in the garage,
including the original vinyl flooring.
We replaced one part of the seat with new foam purchased from a caravan interior company, to exact dimensions of original.
Some would say leave it alone but this is also an investment..... Yer!!

Dropped the front only by approx 50mm to level her out, wanted to roll stock!! 8)

For the time being!! :lol:

I set to work on the door cards carfully peeling the original skins off the well tired hard board!! :|
I replaced both with 3mm exterior ply and panel clips from heritage, and reskined using original panel skins....
to keep it OG!!

All of the interior restoration work was carried out by myself & my extremely talented partner.XX

My other half also loves making stuff for the van, like Sock monkeys, crocheting...... pillows, danglers, blanckets all sorts!?!?


"CAMPMOBILE" :!: :!:

Nice looking bus.
You may find it better to put a space between each picture, makes it easier to view.

to put a space in between each line of code, just hit RETURN at the end of each [/IMG] tag and put an empty line between each line of code in the post.

By pasting your image on the cursor & putting in between spaces by pressing the enter key/ down space it's kinda hard to put in writing :lol: you'll just keep having to have a play :lol:
You'll get used to it, anyway we can see them just that their all over the place. :lol:
