1967 VW Wesfalia camper bus
1967 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Westfalia Description:
1967 Real Westfalia SO-42 pop-top camperThe good:
-Good solid bus with a good original interior. The only replacement Westfalia parts are the curtains, spice rack, bay laminate floor and curtain bungees.
-The engine is a rebuilt Mexican AS41 case with single port heads, and about 30 miles on it.
-New brakes, tires, interior, steering components shocks ect.. and seals throughout.
-Added a shoulder seatbelt for safety.
-It's an east coast bus so it required lots of lower metal replacement mostly with Klassic Fab, Autocraft and WW cargo floors. I had it on a rotisserie for almost a year.
-Paint is honestly a 5 out of 10, its a blend of OG and new single stage but its a 10 foot paint job, its nice but not perfect.
-The body is solid but it has small dings and scratches from use, its a user bus not a show bus.
-Wiring is good, any wires that were replaced Ilabeled so that I would know what they were run to.
The bad/annoying:
-The passenger door alignment is off (sticks/hard to close) and I've been unable to adjust it back to where it doesn't annoy me.
-Steering box has the typical small flat spot, annoying at first but like all busses you end up not noticing it the more you drive.
-The wipers work when they want to, I don't usually drive in the rain but It's an issue that again is annoying.
-The water tank drain was broken so I had to make a new valve with PVC and a shutoff switch.
-This is by no means a perfect but its an honest bus and its a good real Westy SO-42 to use and camp in.
-There is no rot on the body, all the bad metal was cut out and replaced with new quality replacement parts.
-The bus is a December 1966 build so it was built prior to VW installing the reverse lights.
- This a German manufactured bus not a Brazilian.
