Yes, this bus will be original. I have been sourcing wood and fabrics to get started on the inside as well.
Just like the example below.

Nice going Sean.
Is this the one that you want to do the underside with that product, if so did you manage to get some info.

Amazing work Sean. You're the only person I know who uses a forklift to park your buses!

Yes it is. I haven't made a turn at the Cape Town branch yet. When i'm in the area, I will pop in.
Thanks

Re: My 1960 SO23 Westfalia
Is that a trailer from the place around the corner at the garage ?
Seems quite low ? I previously had issues getting the beetle up on a trailer, once the front wheels are on the pan hits the trailer where the ramps connect. I need to take the beetle for touch ups, buff and polish soon.

No, its not from them. It belongs to a friend.
I do have a piggy back trailer or A frame if you want to borrow.

Re: My 1960 SO23 Westfalia
Thanks for the offer Sean, would rather stick to a trailer where I can get the car off the road.

Re: My 1960 SO23 Westfalia
When you request the next car trailer to hire, ask for the Tipper. Its also a car trailer but has a brake neck, so the entire trailer tips backwards instead of ramps. Much better for lower cars.

Chassis preparation done and primer applied. Since the westy came out with a grey painted chassis, I will be spraying it grey again.

Re: My 1960 SO23 Westfalia
Nice... Looks like new.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
