Westfalia resources

  1. Hi All,

    Does anybody have any recommendations for good sites on restoring Westfalias? There seems to be a lot around on the bigger pieces of interior but I am looking for things like info OG curtain rail systems, 12v electric system, which seals used where, OG headliner installation , thickness of OG foams used, what optional extras were available etc. Exploded diagrams and maybe even scans of factory brochures/manuals/technical specs would be cool?

    Other than the great wealth of individual topics here, do you have any recommendations for good reference sites or books for that matter.

    We have a font of knowledge on here.

    I have a cracking book at home with all the info you want. I am home in while and will post up a reference to it for you.
     
  3. Thanks Poptop that would be great. I was certainly hoping to tap into this place for advice :)
     
  4. Not sure how the heck I haven't yet seen that site before lol, Thanks Zebedee.

    I have the books below and a few others..

    This book by Vincent Molenaar and Alexander Prinz is excellent for geeky Westfalia M code and spec types,
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transporter-Microbus-Specification-Guide-1967-1979/dp/1861267657

    VW camper -The inside Story by David Eccles is also a good read.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/VW-Camper-C...70&sr=1-1&keywords=vw camper the inside story

    Well worth the money. :thumbsup:
