I believe the "correct" one you are looking for looks like this
however yours is harder wearing, more practical and I assume cheaper. Depends how much money you have to burn to make your westy 100% 'correct" |
Or if you can find one. My guess is that light is a few g's at this point.

Anyone know what this part under the front pan could be?

Isolated and flipped over it looks like it once had an arm or stiff cable going to the steering lever? If so it might have been a home made dampener. It looks like you could turn the knob and adjust the dampening.

Do the white parts go thru the nose to the bumper? If so, probably air horns.

Any closer pictures of and around it? From a distance it looks like a powered pulley but if it is, why? Homemade power steering haha? Does it have wires? |

Definitely a Bay window child's cot. You can cut the poles/canvas down to make it fit.

Those flip seats are like adding a slide-out to you're bus. Sweet bus that would check all the boxes for an extreme camper.

Sure looks nice enough to simply clean it up, reseal the windows and drive it in dryer weather for now!
How bad is the frame work?
Agreed, more images, pretty please.
Are you missing any Westie only parts??

UAU!!
It looks really beautiful, complete and way less rusty than most of the busses on the actual market.
Looking for seeing the result.
Cheers!
