No rear side windows
Seems the window on slide door does not open
2 + 1 seating in front
Extra cushion, seems the swing table has a folder which I do not recall having on mine, grey handle inside sliding door and front/feet(?) support for bed though this could have been added as well as the wood paneling.
Nothing extraordinary I just had never seen one like it in my suburbs

It's a Transporter turned into a Westfalia conversion!

Looks like a home-made conversion, not unlike some of the projects here on other threads.
You can see a bulkhead behind the front seats, eliminating a walk-through. IMHO- this was a 'Transporter' (cargo van), that has benn converted quite nicely.

| The vents in the upper rear corner of the body mean that it is a panel van- home made Westfakia. |

It's for sale for any ambitious soul who would want to import it from Europe or resides in Europe. The bloke wants 7500 euros and claims 30000 kilometers on a rebuilt.
Not mine, not my bro just mentioning it.

| That is a lot of money over there for a home made conversion. You can buy real conversion in different flavors, very clean hardtop or even a decent Tristar for less. |

No, not in Europe. VERY pricey! What you think of as 'average price' will get you a rusted non-runner in Germany.

You do realize that 7500Euro is $10,708 as of today, right?

Yes, I realize that it isn't exactly cheap but if I had money burning a hole in my shorts there are much better deals to be had than a converted westfakia panel van(which are cheap) for 7500 euro.
I could even pick up a high top westy joker and have money left over to buy you all the schnitzel,bratwurst und bier you could handle with a bunch of money left over http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=v4jnlbkkp4kg |

Posh!
Mine is a Westy CLUB Joker! Now with a 3 liter Subi! Can't buy THAT on eBay!
(sorry, I'm just still stoked about it!)

Yup. I have the exact same grey handle on my rear slider door too.
I also recently noticed that the front jack points that are in front of my front wheels (just below the front bumper) must have been custom done as well because the more I look at the US and European vans on here, I have yet to see one that has there....They look a bit more circular than the stock jack points.
I will have to post a pic soon. I've just been afraid to spend too much time working on the van lately because this 110 degree heat is just brutal...

dobryan,
You can use it if you don't mind losing the walk through.
The seat rails on the bottom of the seat match the rails for the passenger side.
I added a double sliding seat to my Doka. I had to craft a brace for the back since I don't have the wall.
I kinda like the two short rails to allow it to fit in the back of the truck.

Good for you. Once you get it running drive it like you stole it.  |
