Old club member and long term owner

[Richard.C]

I just wanted to say hi, I have re-joined the club after being away for probably over 25 years. The good news is I still own my Westfield SE that I purchased 36 years ago, the bad news is it's been stood in a garage for around 23 years so is now in need of a full rebuild.

 

Anyway pulled it out of the garage it was stored in and have relocated it close to my home, I need to find storage space for my other toy so I can get the Westy into the garage at home to start the rebuild.

 

She's a 1988/1989 kit, narrow body SE with a 1600 xflow. I'm sure I'll be looking for some help along the way specifically locating parts or newer alternatives.

I've found from bitter experience that it's death to these projects to have them too far from your house.

Welcome back!

Mine had been off the road for 14 years and it's taken a fair bit to get it working properly again. I didn't do a full rebuild but it's taken a while. Great to hear another early car is back on here.

Welcome back @Richard.C it’s good to have a narrow back on the road - or at least soon to be back on the road!  Make sure you start a rebuild thread and post up photos of your progress.  Ask as many questions as you need to, we’re here to help!

 

There’s a possibility of a club 40th anniversary parade lap for our Westfields next year at the Silverstone Festival in the summer, so a good incentive to get it done before then!
