Angel and his '78 Caribbean Westy
This is Angel Olivares in Puerto Rico proudly showing his mint
condition '78 VW Westfalia bus. I visited Angel and his family
when I was in San Juan for a conference. Of course we had to have a
photo session with his Volkswagens! Click on the photos to see
large versions.

Inside the late bus Westy
The well equipped inside of the full camper. The stove and sink
cabinet is in the foreground. In the rear is the underseat
storage, the closet. The chest fridge is occluded behind the
stove and sink cabinet, but the evaporator fins can be
seen just in front of the closet.

Clever front window bug screen
Angel has this clever bug screen for the front windows. It is a piece
of mesh sewn into a pocket that slips over the door. On the inside
bottom is a piece of elastic, which stretches it up and keeps it on
tight. He says the bug screen is OEM. I'm going to make one myself on
my sewing machine.
