A journey of transformation
It seemed like a good idea at the time. An Early Bay Westfalia SO67 camper, what’s not to like?
I had just sold a VW bus when I saw this Early Bay Westfalia for sale. I was toying with getting another camper, and Bay campers had the advantage over splitscreen buses in that they often came with camper interiors.
An Early Bay Westfalia seemed like a great option, especially as it had pretty much all of its original interior with it. Unfortunately, it had no history with it and wasn’t an original paint bus. I was taking a chance on this one. Hopefully, it wasn’t hiding too many nasties under the fairly rudimentary paint job…
Unfortunately, it wasn’t too long before issues started to present themselves. It was a case of do I bail on it, or do I go in and get the camper sorted from top to bottom?
In the end, I decided to get the bus sorted and returned more or less to its original stock factory condition again. It was a long road, with many issues along the way. Was it worth it in the end?
It was quite a journey from start to finish. Read all about it below…

Real Van Life
Everyday ownership of a classic VW Split screen camper van and all the adventures that go towards keeping it on the road as a daily driver in the UK.
Warning it’s not all about Instagram lifestyle shots of beautiful people posing on the roof of the bus staring off into the landscape or watching the surf come in.
However, it is all about having fun!
Getting out and about using the bus as it was intended to be used. To travel, explore, go camping in and have road trip adventures.
