    I bought the van 4 years ago unseen from a guy I know who deals in vws, he sent me a handful of pictures we agreed a price and the deal was done. I was in no rush to have the van delivered as we had just moved into a new house with a 5 month old and I was a bit short of time, it was another 2 years before I saw the van in the flesh and it was in great condition.

    thanks for the comments guys it is cool to have it on the road, a few teething trouble but nothing to serious just a blocked fuel filter, off to the dvla this morning to register it, spiderman is at school so i will have to risk the dangers of the universe by myself. :'(
     
  13. That's really unusual, a non-walkthrough Westy. What's the name of that Westfalia conversion, do you know?

    And have you still got those mudflaps (and are you planning to keep them)?
     
  14. Looks amazing!!! What a stunner!!!

    Scotty.
