Our Groovy New Westy
We have a new addition to our family...a sweet 1977 Volkswagen Westfalia Deluxe Camper Bus. Oh yes. We are so excited! Ready to camp, camp, camp! Matt flies to Boise, ID to pick it up next Friday. More pics here.

And its first stop is Boulder, Colorado. We can't wait to see you!
As long as the second trip is KC! It's so fun...I'm so excited to see it in real life!
That thing is stinkin awesome.
First of all, NICE RIDE! Second, I have to apologize for imposing a question on you, but I have a green 77 westy deluxe that I just got in April and am in the planning stages of a complete restore and and and...do you know whether the alternator in your bus (identical engine to mine as far as I can see) is a 55 or 70 amp and do you have two batteries running? If you don't want to reply, I understand. I googled "77 vw westfalia deluxe" and found your blog here, by the way :)
ggloyd: I will have my husband answer this one!
I am not sure the size of the alternator but my guess would be a 70 because I have two batteries. One to run the camper side and the other to start the bus. If you have more questions www.thesamba.com forum is great. If you post something someone will answer.
I hope this helps, good luck on your rebuild. Let me know how it goes.
