Progress continues… as all of the paint continues to be removed, a few more areas that will need attention are revealed. Ideally we’re aiming
OK, more and more of the paint is getting removed so that the true extent of the work can be determined. This way a
Inspection time Although the bus is generally pretty solid and would be relatively quick/easy to get an MOT and back on the road OK,
Import buses So far it all looks pretty good huh? Well it’s a US imported bus so that’s what’s to be expected, right? Wrong!
Right, so this is what it looked like when I first got it… Looks pretty good as a base to start with… but is
I’ve already got over a 100+ pics already, and not all the paints off the van yet! Right, definitely a whole stash of photo

Fancy following the full ground up restoration of my (1969) 1970 model Early Bay Westafalia Camper? Well Sit back njoy the ride, the camper
They’re not the best equipped campers on the market. Nor the fastest or the most comfortable. The technology is dated and can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to get used to. They are also a bit quirky to drive. Strange choice for a classic camper then!
To me, none of this really matters though. It has its own unique character and story. Without doubt, it’s my fave vehicle ever! People wave at you whilst you’re driving around. You stop places and have complete strangers come up and start conversations with you about it. So many stories, from so many different people. It does way more than merely just get you from A to B.
Yes it’s cool. No I’m not going to paint it!
This is a standard reply to one of my most commonly asked questions. The bus was made in Germany in 1963/1964. It is still mostly original and solid in all the right places! Sure, the paint is faded and worn through in areas. That’s to be expected after all these years. Especially if you spent most of those early years in sunny California. You only get original once, and this bus shows its age with pride!
Keep up with the latest adventures…
Road trips around the UK and Europe, car shows, special events and just keeping everything working as it should be. There’s a bit of something for everyone to enjoy…
