  6. Hi guys! I'm loving the pics of your Westys! So, here's mine. She's a Jan '72. Now, somebody on The Samba said it looks like a deluxe with a Westy cabinet job. I'm not disagreeing and there's no history with this van except what the PO told me. Arrived in LA in '72, then an unknown few decades, ended up in Idaho (confirmed by the DMV and I found Idaho plates in the cabinet) now it's here with me in central Utah. She's dry dry dry, so maybe she spent a bunch of time in California upon arrival. It sure seems so to me. This pic was after I had cut the paint a LOT! 11223981_10154268267700021_7434101194287768616_o.jpg

    Because she looked like this when I picked her up....

    Very nice. I love the look of a Westy without a spare hanging off the front:thumbsup:

    Oh mate, it's a real mess under mine. I took it off before TE to stick some air in the tyre & there are more screws in the wheel mounting plate than at our local Screwfix warehouse!

    Plus the tyre letters & numbers are reverse printed into the paint :eek: and the filler is starting to crack out of the pick-up shaped dint it hides:eek::eek:

    It will come off (Mrs Monkey already has the badge :rolleyes:), when I can no longer stand the cracking but I'm on the quest for the perfect spare carrying solution...

    BTW @pkrboo , your canvas is annoyingly straight:mad:
     
  18. In that case, keep the spare on and give it a "damn good ignoring" just like we say at work!!
