I have been on the samba for months. recently I lost my account. I am currently 16 and work at a body shop. I also have a 1961 mose grey bus which has a grey dash. Also have a 1972 camper. Now a new addition to the family! I got a really good price for this new van. I have always loved the vw. That's why I have three. lol.Anyways, I just got the van three days ago. Was in storage for many years...Great shape for being in Canada.

This was before the cleaning:

After:

Rockers look really solid:

Underneath looks great too:

Really cool stove in the sink:

I'm pretty sure these are the original curtains:

Dash:

I will slowly update.

Nice floor! Looks like a really good find. At 16 I barely had one third of a bus, let alone 3.

Thanks. Instead of owning a nice fancy car I chose vws.

Hopefully it will be ready for camper jam Canada! Will be a fun trip. I have a engine ready to go in. Paint polished up nicely. Underneath it looks like there is a coating which protected the floors. I am quite happy with the results.

Really nice looking bus, and polished up really good to. You are right about the stove, that is cool and compliments the Westfalia set up and colour well, what make is it?
