The panel/bus/westy van story so far ??
- Thread starter bluebay

Help Support Early Bay Forum:
Couple more bits done,having removed the head lining to fit the roof this left quite a bit of room up above our heads so I made a shelf and put the CB up there too.
Also made another little space for the boy`s books and dvd`s.

I love your van! And it is so full of clever ideas! 
You are really going to enjoy it so much this spring/summer...
Keep it up!

Hi, Phil ! I have followed all your thread and I am bringing it to life since youmseem to be enjoying your VWs and not posting any updates
Actually, I wanted to tell you that I finally got hold of a westy roof and I will try fitting it the way you did...I might wait until the end of the summer though...even though I am dying to have that extra room I dont want to open a can of worms before the holidays! :lol: (no pun)
I will keep youmposted, and if you don't mind I might ask for a little advice when I get started.
Thanks in advance,
Tonio

Well we`ve just done our two week holiday in Cornwall (st ives) and Devon (Woolacombe).It was Joseph`s first camping trip and our first big one with the pop top.Myself and Edward slept up top the bed I made with stood my 14 stone and Ed`s 2 1/2,Michelle said it was bending a little but we slept very well,Michelle and Joseph slept on the RnR bed.
Our pitch at Woolacombe bay
Expensive site for what we need as we don`t bother with the club etc.One shower block was ok the other pretty poor.
The boys in the front seat
Us as the sun goes down
Edward with penguin at park at near Hayle
Something I knocked up for Ed with an old steering wheel
Will update more later,
Phil

thats ^^ cool Phil. Bet he loves it!
Well I can't believe my last post on here was 2012 !.
Been on and off here reading what folks have been up too though.
I guess I've been busy doing other stuff,house extension new job other vehicles.
Done a fair bit to the van since then too last job was late bay steering box conversion.
Bought box and arm off of Radish on here thanks again,made my own adapter plate with crush tubes and fitted it on.cant believe no play or wander when driving its great I can now relax when Lorry's pass me,would recommend it to all who have vague steering.i had been running a "re con" box from a well known company had it on around 8 years with maybe 20000 miles on it.
Last year spent many hours welding,inner & outer sills both sides,wheel arch,outriggers,chassis repairs,front valence inner and outer.
Year before I fitted a 100w solar panel which again is great,I opted for a flexi one and bonded it to the roof .
I will try and update with photos when I get chance.
