1986 VW Westfalia Campervan

My 1986 VW Westfalia Campervan, purchased July, 2006 with 262,000 miles (only!)

When I first got it, steel wheels look pretty rough

First job was to rebuild the front suspension, all the bushings were shot

Fancy new 15" wheels from Go Westy

In 2008 after I wore out the current engine I had Rocky Mountain Westy install a used Subaru 2.2 four cylinder engine in the van. They installed the engine with a full support cradle, skid plate and integrated rear bumper and spare tire support. Here are a few pictures.
