Loads of piccys here of the interior and bad bits.
The girl I got it off has gone nuts as it has Westfalia all over the documents, she has had it for a long time and has always been told it was a westy, specifically by a specialist who looked after it for her, i will be getting the paperwork tomorrow so will see for myself what it says!

The sink looks as though it could be re-used :o

Sorry but I hope you didn't pay much for that. :|

Um, yeah, that's defo not a westy.

Rather a sorry looking van - inside and out. :cry:

Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it.

I think Kev's just withdrawn his 25p offer :?

I would take what's salvageable out (engine, g/box, running gear etc) and scrap it. Sorry but that's all it's fit for.

It does look a little sorry for itself and yes, the fridge is in a barmy place!

It is salvageable though, got a couple of people interested and if not then I will consider it as a long term project.

How long term though? The Sun will eventually run out of fuel. Though admittedly long after your money and patience :wink:

Oh la la, suddenly my Daffy is looking decidedly 'mint' ;-) as for the fridge position, makes perfect sense to me. No need to bend or move from yr comfy seated position to grab a cold one :-P

I think you boys are either lacking in imagination (Ahem) or just being realists - sadly in this case I fear the latter :-( Good luck whatever you decide.

Is it a homebrew interior or a conversion?

Looks like a homebrew from an autosleeper donor interior.

It was fired up about 6 months ago so still runs and moves under its own steam, the welding for mot purposes could be done and I thought maybe as a kind of day bus rather than a full restoration.

Surely worse has been repaired/rebuilt?

Anything CAN be saved but why would you want to ? You have no emotional (and hopefully financial) attachment to this shed so let it go before you have good money stuck out in it.
