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. :D 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.
