So after I had no takers, I decided to keep and restore this baby. The birth of my 1969 Delux Westy

The before pics are available above so I'll take it from there. The Westy roof on the top bus(Delux) now belongs to Beetlefanatic

Started stripping BZN(Bay Zonder Naam

) preparing for new lick of paint.

more to follow soon

I have seen the bus since it came back from spraypainting and it's looking absolutely beautifull. A top notch job. Well done Eugene, it's going to be one nice bus.

Thanks for pissing on my parade guys

I wanted to tell the story

So here it is all done

Just joking...wish it was done

Well...off to the paintshop we go.
The car had very little rust. Apart from the usual suspects, underneath the widscreen, on the sunroof and some surface rust, the body was nice and solid.

Had a big dent right rear corner and one left rear underneath. These were all sorted in no time.

Oh, the rust on the sill in front of the rear wheel was also cut out and fresh metal welded in

Stay tuned for the next episode

Thanks for the kind words guys

So while all this is happening, I had some other things to keep me busy
Stripped the step and off to the powdercoaters it goes, along with the roofrack's pipes.

Started stripping the instuments, cleaning it properly before reassembly.

Tested the clock.....

The damaged dash taken out to be replaced with good one
