Westwood W8 (1983) "Baby" - restoration

Recommended Posts

A great job.

It’s almost certainly considerably better than when it left the factory as Westwoods  of that era were thrown together with dodgy paint and parts book instructions to “ use as necessary” when it came to shims and washers etc.

The paint was very good, in some places it didn't want to go down when sandblasting. Overall, the 37-year-old condition was well preserved, perhaps thanks to the user.
I love these tractors, I use newer Countax on a daily basis, but the older Westwoods are great.

That is luverly I hate to think of the cost though Tomo

What paint have you used ?

Nigel,
There's a powder coating. Of course, everything is sandblasted beforehand.

Thanks all.
Listen, guys. This is your British product and it's supposed to look like your factory made it. It's supposed to be original :)

Well done Tomas, looks great! I haven't seen a restored Westwood that original!
