[QUOTE="RichardAlexander, post: 616827, member: 17920"] i brought a ugly battered westy california import for 6K, but he was solid rust wise and mechanically sound, excusing a slight hiccup with the petrol tank and carb. i was a complete amature But spent six month making it clean and usable, tarting up the bits i wanted nice. I use it 20 -30 times a year camping where it drives down lanes with hawthorn bushes hanging over it gets splashed with dirt, stone chips, bug splats, bird poo and tree sap. if i paid 30k for a bus i wouldnt do any of that. if you want a pretty bus that you drive to shows and win awards a full restore is the way, if you want it to go camping buy the best you can afford dont worry about the paint make sure its sound mechanically and enjoy. pop top if you want to stand up in the bus Westy (most of your pictures are of westy's) if you want cupboard space. p.s. its just my opinion and i have massive respect for those who do a full resto but i want mine to camp in [/QUOTE]
