1977 Colorado Westfalia

Well another project is arriving next week, this one will be for sale, as the 79 is my keeper, It a rustfree 77 poptop, plans are to tidy it up and sell it on, as i dont have space for both

 

Nice one. Beautiful color combination. Looks like it has loads of potential and will sharpen up without investing too much money.
Sand the bumpers and top, spray them all white, buff out the paint & yer halfway home.
I bet that dingy sagging bench cushion cover would brighten and tighten after a run through the washing machine and a gentle warm dry.
Will you be starting a restoration thread?

 

How the Hell did that post twice?

 

My Westie had same covers and similar curtains. They are in a box now. Anyone want them? All washed ready to fit but a bit stripy from sum bleaching. But they are original.

 

Just getting them out to check them. I'll post a picture or two and pm you some more information

 

And here they are


as they were in the westie which is a '77


Almost new material for rear cushion (needs making.


Seat


Other seat piece


Side seat


typical curtain


other side of typical curtain - this is where the sun did its work

The cushion covers are are in pretty good shape ready to fit and preshaped apart from the back one. A litle bit of fading as you can see on the seats but still looks like the real deal.

 

How true
I tried dyeing these and this picture shows how much dye stuck on. None. However we did not notice that a pair of my Y-fronts were still in the machine. Now I have a nice green pair. At least it proved that the dye worked!

 

cheers guys, will prob buff out the paint, respray the front end and lose the spare wheel bracket, then prob repaint the bumpers and pop top
