New dub owner!

  1. Hi everyone,

    Recently bought a '73 westy LHD which was imported from California in 2009. Had it re-sprayed and now interior to do up, can't wait to be out and about across UK and Europe later in the year.

    Some pics, any thoughts/suggestions welcome. We plan to fit a fridge asap and also a stove but don't want to change the original layout so any ideas regarding stove would be much appreciated.

    Thanks and look forward to chatting to as many fellow camper owners as poss!

  5. This is the only one I have on my computer, away from home today. Not that useful but pretty standard layout I believe. Am wondering if anyone knows if a Waeco CR50 fridge will fit where the toolbox currently is? And regarding stove, ideally some kind of fold away one on the side of the sink unit but don't know if possible... IMG_2134.JPG

  9. Hi from West Lancashire - ours is a 73 Westy too - but original interior is long gone.

  12. I put white leather MGF seats in it - it had black leather Alfa ones in when we got it - in fact whole interior was black - so have redone it all in white . I thought interior was original - but I was told it was not - so ripped most of it out and knocked up a simple one of our own out of plywood .
