Damn. WESTY porn right there!
Interesting that this was done in June according to the Westfalia receipt with a number so low an my 4/65 number is around 900.

For Split window Westfalia's they started at zero and continued thru the years of production (65-67).

Of course they did, just seems low to me for half way through the year.

Some more pictures of the SO44.
Two pics of the bus, as it was stored away. have a look at the roof rack. It was modified, to fit on the front of the car.
once again the M plate
Arvids dad used to go hunting. He wanted to be able to shoot out of the car, thats why this bus safaris.
the bus once had an accident. the left side and the left rear corner were hit. All the dents were filled with bondo

Unfortunately, I don't have any further pics of that area.
And the bus is at the paint shop now. |

Ok, Im sure its fully dismantled. Hey KWZ - you need to get that thing runnin brother! 
Although a later type BN4 in the below thread - it does show similar on what it takes to restore one. Yours is a little trickier being earlier as it has two pump diaphragms that get hard over time causing it not to work.

Nice. Looks like a home jobby? Modified from og. Just the end where it comes out and turns.

I totally lost track of this thread. I am sorry, I should have continued that.
Arvid finished the bus in 2017, and now uses it for camping in summer. He bought new fabric from BBT in Belgium for the mattresses and left away theheadbanger cabinet. Unfortunately I do not have any actual pics of the interior.
Here are a few of the bus.

Looks like it turned out great. Thanks for the update and if you can post some interior pictures that would be awesome.
