Aircooled VW South Africa

After buying Impis red westy earlier this year I have focused on making it a reliable family friendly camping vehicle.
Vdubtech assisted with the axle boots and timing / distributor issue and got it running better.
I then wanted to tidy the interior up and fit seat belts for the kids and a continental roof bed. This was an option we didn't get in SA, and only in a few westy variants. Mike and Fred from Retro Culture did most of the work on the project and I am super happy with the result.

Looks very good. Can you send me their contact details? Are they based in Gauteng?

Hi Brian - I'd be very keen to purchase a roof bed like yours for my Westy if your brother is interested in making them for resale. Please can you send me his contact details...

Looking good!

looks cool, what year model is that westy - bed above looks interesting, sure beats that stretcher !

It's a 71. That bed configuration was an option on the UK Westfalia Continental (ca 1973). It has been discussed on thesamba.com forums and someone came up with plans. It's a tight fit, but Fred seems to have done a great job reproducing it.

Derek I have passed on your details
