I love that you are able to find all this crazy obscure Westfaila stuff and have it all for a bus that will be museum quality when finished. You're like the Indiana Jones of Westfaila's. |

On the inside it snaps into the mosquito net snaps. Makes for a nice seal. On the outside beefy bungee cords with plastic hooks keep a good gasket all around.

I dont know about patient? I do get side tracked easily in respect to this project for some reason. I just need to invest mentally and physically and push it out. _________________

I want to have a good read of your '77 build too, the bus is almost identical to our 77 Westy, ours is the basic Campmobile though! |

I tell you if that wasn't a working work in progress, Id of lost my steam long ago. Its very important to keep a project a roller - driver. As its so easy to lose focus and forget where the end is. The 77 keeps me in the faith for sure.

These fresh air controls were on back order. Got them the other day. Man what a difference. The old ones were heat weather checked and what I would consider decent shape. But new ones are just.....wow.

Damn fine job you're doing Jason! I just read through the thread, now I remember reading about your sweet panel sometime back. That bus is super bad ass too. I admire you're work, everything looks so clean and crisp. Keep it up brother! _________________ Brandon |

Cheers to all. Merry Christmas!
I snuck out to the garage today and replaced the trip on the rear tent. The OG stuff is white and seriously checked, discolored and grubby looking. I have both white and black trim available and went with the black. Not technically the "right" color but it is the right color for the 74 - as its all black. Besides I will need to make a blue plaid cushion for it as well and ditch the mouse nested, holey one year 73 mustard cloth one.
Anyone need some yellow cloth?
