1974 pop top westfalia

Discussion in 'Late Bay Classifieds' started by Austin, Jan 26, 2015.

  1. Fresh off the boat we have a really straight solid 74 Westy, thought I'd offer it here for a while before we make a start on it ourselves.

    Westy interior
    Full width rock and roll bed
    Over head locker, and wardrobe to the side of it
    Original roof Westy bed
    All original fabrics, drivers seat isn't great, but OE Westy material supplied.
    No rot anywhere, nothing at all.
    Been in the warm California sun all it's life
    Does have a the sink unit inside but it's not too great, we have a spare tho.
    Good tyres and wheels all round
    Type 4 engine, seems ok but haven't fired it up yet.
    Performance exhaust and header.
    All duties paid, and can walk you through the registration process.
    The front is really nice, I can't believe we have a type 2 in the workshop that doesn't have the front end whacked in!!

    1 key fits all the locks!!

    It's had a repaint in the past but it's the original orange and they've done quite a good job, very very straight bodywork, no dents, only a small bit of bondo on the NS rear corner.

    The only negatives about this van is the sunroof that's been cut in over the front cab, it's not too bad and had been leak free for years, but I'd put the metal back in if we were doing it. And also the PO cut out the rear engine hatch. Again not too bad but defiantly you would want to put this back. That said, neither of the above points would stop you from getting an mot on it and driving it.

    More pics to come, and can take pics of anything else you want me to of the van.

    £6995 for a really really easy project, mot straight away then sort the bits out that need doing.

    Hi Austin
    does it have passenger swivel seat or fixed?

  3. Hi Gary, its a fixed seat, both front seats have the factory bulkheads behind them.

    Where is it @Austin and what do you mean the rear hatch has been cut out?
    Any pics of sunroof / rear hatch?
     
  5. No probs, here is a pic of the "sunroof" and of the rear hatch cut out.

    I can't think for the life of me why anyone would do this. The PO did like to "invent" things so maybe it made sense to him.

    how much for your 74 with no interior or engine? You wanted an engine right?

    Knowing how the front fibreglass pod goes on - that must be a right hatchet job!

    Nice bus, really nice for the money....
     
  12. Pm'd you bud.
     
  13. But easy enough to repair as it will be hidden by the fibreglass roof

    If this was closer I'd be looking at it for a mate.
    Looks like a bargain for someone.
     
  15. Can I have the black side stripes?....
