I am just getting started restoring a '78 Westy and am looking for some info on websites that sell parts.

I have checked out:
www.gowesty.com
www.westcoastmetric.com
www.bus-boys.com

Do you know of any other good ones?

Thanks Smile

Ah, he's new, so let's be kind.

Of course the search button is there, and this is going to take a while to peruse through, so start here:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/shops/cat.php?id=1
(the parts section will destroy hours of your time)

And follow up here:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/links/

and of course, do a quick search for feedback on some of these stores.

The reputable ones actually post here (See: West Coast Metric, Ron at Bus Depot, Etc...)

Restoring a 78? I highly recommend taking crazy amounts of pictures and posting them here.

Good luck,

-Peter

Can you edit your link for WCM. Should be 'metric' not 'metrics'. The extra 's' takes you to one of those nasty link/search farms.

Cheers,

Duke

Thanks for the advice, I could have ... but I was looking to find user recommended sites that are actually current.

Cheers Smile

You can try justkampers in the UK for those hard to find parts in the US...
