Jeff and good mate Brendon Ward have been into Kombis for many years, with Jeff's daily driver a '77 Bay window delux and Brendon's a project '70 Lowlite (now complete). Jeff stumbled across this 1966 Westfalia Camper for sale in a driveway in Campbelltown in 2007. He paid seven grand for the bus, which was in surprisingly good condition. The only history that came with the '66 was that it had been imported privately by a person working on the Snowy River Hydro scheme and was converted locally to RHD. Jeff immediately saw the potential for the Westy to be restored with modern mechanicals and running gear, while maintaining the original camper look and feel, giving him and his family a period Kombi with the ability to tour in comfort. The Kombi was stripped to bare metal and selectively sandblasted to reveal the need for a complete new front floor, patches to the rear floor, sills both sides, and a tidy of the RHD conversion, including a new dash. Jeff also took the opportunity to have brackets for front and rear Safaris welded in.
