19 march 2014 - Rare and for sale

I hope all BBT Blog readers are as interested as I am in production processes,

I was very happy I could see part of the weaving of a new production upholstery material for SO34 Westfalia. I’m even more happy I can share these pictures with you, its pretty impressive,

For those who don’t know, we let weave the 4 styles early Westfalia fabrics in a period correct way to create same feel, style and looks like back in the day. No compromise!

We’re still looking for a decent sample of early Westfalia curtains, (the yellow one with that special ribble in it) (NOS or as close as we can get) to make a perfect reproduction in period materials and weaving Technics as well.

Enjoy the pictures, and look for the end result!

coloring teh materials is a process on its own…

DSC08935_blogView from the back….

DSC08936_blogCab floors are not too bad… when we first saw the rockers we thought to leave it alone, but an up close inspection did me buy the bus, it deserves to being rescued as it don’t need that much!

DSC08941_blogNice and dry, surface rust underneath, as said, rockers is the main part to worry about, but only rockers isn’t that bad yet! And the sliding door rocker it-selves looks still good, its especially the part behind….
