Re: 61 Westy
I love the red and white paint. 
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Re: 61 Westy
Put window in the kombi and that was all.
On the back bumper there are holes for the towbar and the jacket(female plug) fora trailer. Not sure should I close the holes or keep it for future use?

Re: 61 Westy
Hi Lowlight,
Very nice wagon.
Can you please tell me what tyres you fitted?
I've hunted high and low and still not sure what tyres to fit to my 65 Bus.
I don't want fat low profiles and I don't want truck tyres, yours look neat?
Thanks

Re: 61 Westy
Dutch later. Im concentrating outside first. To get it back to the panelbeater for flat and polish, then I will fit the rest on the inside as they tend tomake a mess when they work on a car.
Put some more rubber on the doors and windows this weekend.
