The van was rusty but very clean and straight to begin with.. Makes a big difference to have a project without major accident damage..
All rust areas were cut away and repaired with fresh metal.. Where possible, the metal has come from a donor vehicle (the OG metal is better)..
Otherwise we have used Schofield parts etc supplied from The BusStop

Nice van and really admired the 67 beetle that was the 09 highlight at the nationals. You mentioned on this thread you had a dual cab and regreted
selling it (featured on your profile) I own the said DC now and have started a major (as they all are) resto. Do you have any history on the DC, Its
been a work horse that I know from the amount of red earth I've removed from it. I would have PM you but I dont have enough thread credits.

Hey!.. Sorry I didn't see this post earlier.. And good luck with the DC..
That Bus just loved being driven.. sat beautifully on the road.. Sure there was some rust to deal with but the structure was excellent.. Doors were
tight.. No major pillar work from what I remember.. Good luck mate.. that is a sweet bus with very fond memories..

The bus is back from the panel shop.. Restored to full health and painted..
Re-assembly is happening now so I will update more frequently..
If anyone has some sliding door hardware, (hinges, locks, slider etc) that they want to part with, please let me know (on PM please)

Haven't fully decided.. I'm thinking lower by about 2" with drop spindles.. and a nice set of alloys (fuchs perhaps)
