Hi
I decided to start this thread. Perhaps it will help me progress a little faster. I bought this westy in Estcourt basically by accident. I went to have a look at a bay DC that was no longer there and start talking to the neighbour and he told me about a camper(thought jaja) but go and have a look. It was not for sale, but one thing lead to a nother and after afew weeks I bought it.
Getting it registered in my name was another thing. Still no COR.

The bus need some attention mostly surface rust. Need repacement panels under side doors. All the interior is there, need TLC. Need the stove, even got the 60's porta potty.
