Tex the 69 Westy Tin Top

[andy11]

Hi all, I'd like to introduce Tex from Texas, my 69 Westy Tin Top, got a few plans for him as he needs lots of love to get him up to scratch.

Are you keeping the patina or going full resto?

 

[Grazy]

Looks nice mate

Cheers guys, gonna keep it as it is, lovin the patina ! Might paint the bumpers ? Needs the odd bit of welding first, sliding door and rear arch. Then a good tidy up inside, all the interior Westy panels need replacing as they're close to falling apart. Just deciding on wheels as well, never liked steels.

Looks like a good base to work from and the interior looks usable

Finished after a massive amount of work. Fitted twin 34ICT’s, removed filter stand and fitted a fuel pressure regulator and it runs a treat now. Tank removed and cleaned out. Rear tub welded up. All fuel lines replaced with R9 fuel hose.

Also fitted a Smiths tacho, Emden radio and head unit in the glove box. Phone charger sockets fitted aswell
