1974 Volkswagen Westfalia

• Cream paint is glossy and even over the big flat panels, doors and sliding door line up straight — no full paint budget from these photos.
• The close-ups do show small chips and scratches, including flaking by a rear wheel arch with darker paint showing through — budget for local touch-ups, not a respray.
• White pop-top roof looks clean and straight from above with its seal sitting even — the canvas sides can't be judged with the top down.
• Chrome hubcaps and handles are bright, bumpers are painted white and straight with only light marks — no chrome or bumper budget.
• Tires show deep tread in the side views — no tire spend from these photos.
• Camper interior can't be judged — only plaid front seats and green curtains show through the glass, no cabin, bed or kitchen close-up in the sample.
• No engine bay or underside photos in the sample — can't judge either, hold back money for that inspection.

Money: the straight, glossy body supports the $34,900 ask, with small paint touch-ups the only visible spend; the camper interior, engine and underside are must-see items.
