1973 Westfalia 1700

I copy and pasted my post from my welcome thread but I figured it would be better to post new pictures here and not in the welcome thread.

Hello all, I found this bus under a tree in Nanaimo for $500. Sitting for 10 years in the same spot. I put new fuel lines, did an oil change, changed all the ignition stuff and she fired right up.

Here it is as I found it. 













Then the clean up started. 




New roof seals.

Thanks for doing that Darryl, makes my "job" easier

Glad you were able to make it to the meeting last night. Great to meet another person "addicted" to their Bus(with apologies to Tom aka Busaddict )

Cheers,
Don

One of my all time favourite layouts with the overhead "closet" which gives you the biggest bed of any Bay Window bus. Interesting that it has the vinyl seat material and not the mustard yellow fabric which was the standard for 1973.

Saw you cruising south on the Parkway
Dam, that bus looks good!

Yes it looks great! How did you get the funk off of the fiberglass poptop? I used a power washer very carefully and then I buffed it out with some boat wax

I used super clean. Pretty aggressive stuff, but it works well
