No
When and where did you buy your VW?

What have you done to your VW since you have owned it?
My first Kombi was a 69 Westie – I was in my 20s and it was full of rust.. I couldn’t afford the work and ended up giving it away. Huge regrets.. so almost 20 years later I bought this one after eyeing up a 1975 Westie – this late model one came on a local auction site. We haven’t done anything to it yet – there are a few issues with the vehicle being a late model we have to have modern safety features in the back, meaning a full camper conversion might not be possible. It has a rock’n’roll bed which might not be possible to keep as a result.
What are your future plans for the VW?
I am taking advice as to what we can do with the interior, but she’s basically a new vehicle, very low km – it had 36,000km on the clock – I’ve put 11,000km in six months (daily driver) – I intend driving it every day, but I do have a second car for very bad weather. We’ve just done 1600km over the past week on a road trip around New Zealand’s east coast and will keep adventuring as the opportunity arises.
What have you bought from Just Kampers?
We have a JustKampers cover for the Kombi which I discovered during our travels – I didn’t know it was under the seat!
What are you looking for next?
Would love a roof tent..
