watchin your progress!
Way to go.!

I have a crusty 70 westy that has brought me years of fun!
I bit off a bite here and there, i learned my lesson on tearing vehicles down. got mine running and stopping and safe first, then 1 project at a tme, so I could enjoy some time in it.

Now that I have a '71 westy I can tear down a little more and stil have something to drive.
