My original 84 Westy Wolfie which I purchased in 1987 has brown table arms, both front and rear. By the look of the stickers this may be original paint, but I believe the original 84 had a wider multi color (earth tone) pin strip along the side at the top of the dark brown. My 84 had already been repainted once when I purchased it in 87, but I've seen two others with that exact same strip.

Cc: vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com Subject: Re: 84 Westy Wolfie with 47k orig miles on Ebay I'll bet it's totally possible to have a 47K original mile Westy. A vehicle report (carfax?) should tell the story. Only one negative feedback that I saw but.... I"m curious about the arm on the forward swing table. It's painted brown. Did VW start painting the arms after a certain year? Is it possible someone repainted it to spruce up the look? Plus, does that look like the original body paint? (quality)
Cheers, Neil.
