So, I had some free time this weekend, and was able to spend it on the bus, which was a great feeling.
Got the rear suspension sorted after the third try, but now just like Goldilocks said, it's just right 😀

got a fair bit done over the weekend, and it's starting to look like a bus again!!!

I hope so, was supposed to be ready for next weekend, but there were a few dramas with the painter supplying my parts and having stuff ready for me.

Looks great Matty.
Took a squizz at your kombi club build thread. Our Lowlight has the same rust spots.
Who did yo get your replacement panels through? Were they a good fit?

Pushed the old girl out into the sun the other day to have a good look, pretty happy even if I do say so myself.

Nice, Supro camper.
Get the best quality replacement panels you can afford, less stuffing around to fit them that way. Any more pics?

VERY nice.

What sort of camper is it?
Looks like it uses a sun roof model?

Cheers man. It was originally a Sopru camper, but was missing a few of the interior cupboards, so my wife bought me an entire Westfalia interior out of a 73 bus to replace it all.
As for the hole in the roof, it's about the same size as the genuine sunroof hole, but it's not a sunroof model, as the pressing for that model goes down inside the roof, where as this one the pressing goes up and out.
