Just scored a straight rust free '71 M.W.'s Dormobile out of Wenatchee, WA
She looks pretty good lowered w/Wagen's West spindles & Audi rims.









Quickly running out of space ;)

Whoa!
Boop crosses over to the baywindow side, are you feeling OK man? I know it's a Dorm but will G and the dogs be seen in it?

No really that's a sweet looking bus.

Nice Chris!  I noticed it went fast....did you get it with the big type 4 option or the 1600?

Went with the 1600. Didn't quite have the extra $$ for the big motor. Knew it would sell fast so I just called him and said we'd take it. Super nice guy & knows Darren Henderson, Jason McConnell, and all those White Rock guys.

Super cool, gotta love the Dormobiles...is this cancelling the split dormie build up, or are you going to have an early and a late?

Let's say we have a lot of thinking to do ;)

The '71 makes more sense for us to travel & camp in which is what we've been looking for. A lot to be said for disk brakes and IRS.

That one is very cool. Good score.
 
If more power is better. Then too much is just enough.
Why do it once when you can do it thrice?

Sweet , I love those early bays, so much more character than the older ones, looks cool too with the roofrack and wheels. :rockon:

It was very reasonable considering the condition, and rarity of a M.W.'s Dorm.
