Our ‘71 Westy

I bought the bus from my uncle back in ‘92.  He and my aunt purchased the bus new in Phoenix AZ.  They flew to the Germany to pick it up, then spent time traveling around Europe in it.  The price included shipping it back to the US.  My uncle had the motor rebuilt in the early 80’s but stopped driving it sometime in the mid 80’s.  Shortly after I purchased the bus I joined the Air Force and had to put my plans for it on hold.  In the summer of 2000 my mother and father trailered the bus out to me here in Aurora from San Diego.  It has been in the backyard ever since.  This spring will be her coming back to life party and the kids are excited to help out.
