Hello all. I'm Kevin, from Moore Haven, Florida USA. I've been snooping about here for a couple of years so I thought it was about time I introduced myself and my Bus. I've had this Bus for a couple years now and have done just about everything to it except bodywork and paint. The first pic is from about a year ago. The second pic is a couple months ago on Daytona Beach the day before the No Dough Bus Show. Cheers.

Hi, new member to this forum, recently purchased a 71 Westfalia LHD low light crossover. Been sorting out the rear lights, as despite having an MOT they weren't working properly. Taking it on the Ipswich to Felixstowe vintage run at the weekend.
Adrian

Hi Adrian I'm fairly recent to the EB forum too. I missed the Ips/Felix. vintage run 'cos we were off to Stanford Hall but will have to keep an eye out for you if you are local to Ips. What colour is your Westy? (We are a bright candy green/white 72 tintop on Fuchs, can't mistake us! :mrgreen:

Just caught up with this post :roll: I'm in Colchester and the Westy is all various shades of white. We did do the run with no problems although the lights still weren't working properly, think they are fixed now. Adrian

Hi guys, thought it was about time I stopped just reading posts and said hello.
So, here's my 1970 Westy, had it a while now but still plenty to do to it.
Its off the road at the moment which i'm not enjoying much whilst I get on with the interior refurb and a few other bits..

If they do, then pop up a piccie or two and let us advise from the pics, although sometimes it`s much better to see in the flesh

[levster]

G'Day fellow bus fans, been a member for a few years but forgot all my log in stuff so have now re-registered, so here i am
Based in the North island of NZ but originally from St Albans Herts, been here 12 years now,. I sold my old 71 devon when we emigrated but had a 71 microbus lined up for our arrival . Olive cost me $5500nz dollars when we were getting $3 to the pound.
quite a small scene here but all my local mates own early bays, including two genuine deluxe microbuses 24 code.
ill post some pix when i find some lol.

 

[MiniDubber]

Hi All!!!

Im Rich,
I currently own a late westy with a hi top. I attend quite a few shows and the more I have got into the scene to more I want an early bay. The engine in mine went boom the other week and thanks to a hefty repair bill its pushed me over the edge and out of love with my currant weekend home. So now its fixed ill be selling up.
So im looking to get myself an early bay or crossover in the very near future.

Hope to see you all about soon. :msn4:
