Oops I Did It Again....thanks to Barry & John @ LonestarVW

[Kev946]

Some of you may have seen this advertised, well I'm the new owner. I always said I would buy another and restore it once I finished my 71 so this is a bit premature, but couldn't resist it. Also said I would go for a 71 or 72.

Big thanks to Barry at LonestarVW whos been superb and John in Texas who supplies his vans. Give him a call if you need one importing or finding.

It's a June 72 Crossover Westy Campmobile, very solid body looking like very little welding needed, maybe cab floor section. Looks to me like all OG paint. The front panel does have a big dent, but spoke to the guy who is restoring my 71 he I says hopefully we can pull it out without any major filler needed, so we should be able to keep it all OG panels. Plans are pretty much a full resto, full bare metal paint etc. So over the next few months I'll be looking for a few bits some big. If you have any on the list below then give me a shout

1. The Elusive 72 only rear bumper& splash pans
2. Type 4 Engine
3. Pop Top
4. Full 72 Westy Interior (Darker wood)
5. Hub caps
6. Late Bay style rear lights complete plus Ealry Bay front indicators complete
7. Anything else you think I need, e.g. front badge etc.

Wish me luck, I'll need it....lol

Rusty underneath but all surface rust no signs of holes. Could do with a blasting before painting.
