[quote="retrovan"]Hey !!! Thats not a type 3 Fastback............

I'm sure my type3 will also find me as this Westy found me, leaning more towards a squire back thou.

I went to buy some Sp twin carb manifolds from a guy in Brakpan, told him it was for my Westy. So he told me there's a Westy standing on the pavement around the corner that the owner wants to sell.

Went to have a look, found people living in the Westy and the trailer and caravan next to it.

Long story short body is nice and straight no rust, interior a bit messy but complete, even has the stretcher in the roof and a tent. Paperwork and license up to date so I could not leaf it there.

Put some petrol in, jump started it and drove it home.

I know some people might agree with the seat cover that I left someone homeless, but at least the Westy has a better home now.

Nice so nice

Decided to call her Gypsy as some gypsy like people was the PO

And now Tommy has a girl

Wow that's a nice find. My next project is going to be a westy as well!!

stunning find!

Great story, congrats! Looks like a very nice bus

Hi Dixon,
Sorry but going off the story line for a second, what happened to Tommys front indicators.

May have missed it on some other thread, but please tell me more......

Herman

Wow nice one Dixon
Can you imagine rocking up at a camping sight with not one but two Westies
Awesome

The PO decided to close them with fiberglass and put the small ones under the bumper. I will be putting them back at some stage, also want to pain the whole bus one colour as it should be. Also going to put the drum brakes back in front as I have changed it to discs. Want to try and make it as original as possible as the '70 seems to be a special Westy
