74 LHD Westy

Discussion in 'Show Us Your Ride' started by bood, Oct 31, 2014.

  1. hi all, this our new van (unnamed at the moment) it was imported 18 months ago and i am the 2nd uk owner.

    needed some tinkering as its a 1700 type 4 with a progressive weber that was badly set up. As of today we are making good progress as there is sadly lots of bodge jobs from the previous owners.
    The interior could also do with a freshen up, it has most of the westy fixtures but they are a little tired and the carpet/headlining although tidy it is not really our choice so will be changed.

    her are a couple of pics i will get more

    thanks for reading

    By the looks of things it's a full width beam with adjusters but they look like they are at there lowest at that height.

  7. thanks guys.

    i did think i wanted a really low van but it drives so nice at the moment so it will probably stay put for now.

    it was great to get out and about, my daughter loved it and it made for a much nicer day having the camper with us, looking forward to many more days/trips out with it.
