I am looking for anyone who has some detailed pictures of the 68-73 Westy Continental camper.  In particular I am looking for detailed pictures of the upper bunk hardware as I want to make one for my Westy and replace the Suicide cot.  Any help would be much appreciated!

HEY Smiles! Just saw your post and thought I'd say howdy!

Hi SE,  I have been on a hiatus for a few months.  Did you keep you westy or did you sell?  I have not been keeping up on the VW scene lately.

I even got to take him out last week in that break of snow, although I know you guys only have a dusting down there, we are snowed in again, check out uncle mellos latest if you have nothing to do sometime on the utubes http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=sisterearth

I did finally get my continental bunk built.

Looks great. You do good work. Did you build it from scratch or did you take the pieces out of a late bay?

[smiles49090]

I built it from scratch.  do a search on thesamba for continental and you will find a thread I started on the build process.
