Vehicle Detail
These "split screen" campers have been in high demand in recent years and the values have been climbing steadily and reaching well into the levels that were once only seen by the Deluxe Microbus. And it's little wonder why...they are truly a wonderful set up, the best of both worlds...a cool old Bus as well as a mobile apartment and hang out spot. Its all in the details when it comes to the quality of a restoration, and this one has taken it to a new level for Campers. This is a benchmark restoration in my eyes. Ive seen a ton of nice campers over the years but nothing as nice as this. Here was the first thing that jumped out at me. The absolutely amazing level of polishing on these windows is something I have never seen on an old Camper like this...truly awesome. They look like jewelry. I will never look at another camper window without thinking about these and just how nice they look. The quality of the paint and body is top notch as well. The underside of the Bus has also been detailed to a high level. Not "over-restored" with chrome or uber-glossy finish, but back to factory as it should be Take a look closely at the head of the bolts here...yes, those are the original German Kamax bolts that have been freshly cad-plated. It is this sort of detail that I have not seen on a Westy of this vintage before. The engine is one diversion from stock on this Bus and a welcome diversion it is when it comes to actually using the Bus. These old Campers are pretty heavy when they are all loaded down with the goodies and having a little extra horsepower is a very good idea for today's highways. The engine room is extremely sanitary and displays the Dave Rhodes built 2110cc engine beautifully. Note the Optima gel cell battery, the BMD pulley system and the understated assembly of the engine tins and trimmings. Battery hold down is in place..all new wiring throughout the Bus by the way. Weber 44 idf Carburators. Safari windows Turn signal lenses The VW emblem painted the proper silver-white in color to match the wheels and bumpers
