I was looking for a Westy for quite sometime but either they were out of reach (too expensive) or gone case.Found a bus about 350 kms from hometown and driven there to strike a deal.It has rust but not too bad. Dual carb setup has been replaced with Weber Progressive.Brought it back home without any issue.A friend from KPK saw it and and asked " Ye Gul Khan ka janaza kahan say milla? I told him bus hoti hay but he mentioned hamaray yehan bus hota hay" Hence the name Gul Khan.
Some of the pics when I bought it last month.
After 350 kms drive to home, kids wanted to have a ride, a quick trip to lake.........
Rubbing and polish made a huge difference in appearance, before and after pictures.
seems to be sumthing intresting.....
Then we took Gul Khan for a camping trip, total distance covered was about 800 kms.It was scary ride as wind was strong and Gul Khan did not want to stay in one lane. It was a real active driving.Some pics of the trip. Topping up fuel is due to the fact that there is a leak somewhere in fuel tank or fuel line. Keep the tank less than half full and smell in cabin is not that strong.
Some random shots
Good morning................
And we had time to take some pictures before leaving the campground
MaShaAllah,nice family and that Van <3 <3 from my childhood it was my all tym favorite van!
Thanks proudpathan.It was time to do something about ride, checked the shocks and all of them were busted.Checked different forums and decided to change tires too.
Time for test drive Took Gul Khan to Marten Mountain and ride quality was improved to a great extent and I was able to relax on driving seat. Saw a black bear with two cubs on the way
Zabardast Gul Khan
Too keep kids from getting bored, needed something in the back, found a good solar panel and installed it.It is a 80W panel with regulator and 1750W inverter. Used group 31, 225AH battery for the system.
Great job bro.
Installed laminate on floor, still work in progress as I will be installing it on the back of front seats.
Kind of finished set up. Note TV needs to be on a mount, wood behind the front seats will be covered with Laminate wood."T" moulding, the white lining on storage bins needs to be changed, trying to source them from US, lets see.

And we took Gul Khan on our second camping trip to Cross Lake Alberta, about 350 kms round trip.
