i hate to tell ya, but it still isn't a Westfalia ... Westfalia puts their placards on with rivets, not phillip-head screws. someone has added the placard from some junkyard camper. and the Wolfsburg badge is likely also been added. the only thing that seems real about the bus is that it does have the pop-top that Country Homes campers used to sell. other than that, i'd say it's a put-up job by some previous owner.

and yes, i've been around vw buses since the middle sixties, so i do believe i know what i'm talking about.
