I was stoked to say the least! Here’s the rest.
And this panel. I don’t need it obviously! Haha

Score!
What happened to the RHD PG/SG bus and the RHD outie vent turkis bus they got the interiors from?
Are you in Australia? |

The back edge.
outie:
innie:
You can fit a early panel into a late bus and vice versa, the back edge won't line up with where it should screw in.
It means that late 63s with innie vents have unique lower and upper corner panels.
This also means there are three versions of "a 63 interior panels set" for a microbus. |

| Wow learned something new. Never noticed the angle cut like that on early interior panels. |

This seems like a good deal for a solid Westy with an interesting history. Typical setup for a German delivered Westy: two tone paint, steering lock, no jalousie windows, no port code/Westy Code (or Westy VIN code) but does have special paint code.

Has the early cooler (whale pump), spare tire setup removed for Eberspacher (which its mcoded for), also ordered with belly pans. Has a few issues but still a solid deal.

There's no need to remove the spare tire well for an eberspacher VW never did that.

True. Maybe someone wanted a wider bed.
Dual carbs don't fit with an Eberspacher I've heard. |

My bad, I was thinking of the Stewart Warner heater setup which requires the spare tire removal.
Bed appears to be the same width although the rear pad has been extended.

No good side shots for sure. Based on the description in the last photo it sounds like he had some recent metal work done and the outside resprayed with new pics coming. He should post some underneath photos as well or provide a link to more shots.

Just of the nose and rear.
A little stuffy to camp in with all stationary windows.

Trust me they don't. You have to run a single carb.

Yep, his bed hinges must be broke so they don't click to hold upright.
That 62' Flipseat is definitely cheaper but I see zero left of the actual Westy kit including the flipseat itself and the arms. It would take a grip of money and a ton of luck to find all that stuff. Probably a prime candidate for a repro kit with some kind of swivel seat mod. Still a cool starting point.

Id think, and this is conservative, that you're looking at close to $9k just to get the kit, tent, and front seat for that bus. If you wanted it complete then there's another $5k for the little stuff.

5k for an original chair, Mauser bowl, toilet, shot glasses, chandelier, 3x hunnersdorf water jugs, subhatch rack and clamps, sisal mat, 3x sprung rear mattresses, wood panels, green cot, bottle rack, fridge- ice-tray and shelves, hardware etc... its 1k just for the repro fabric to redo the curtains. And an original chair if one ever came up for sale could potentially be 5k alone... |
