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.

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.
