i think the trim would definately look great , my only issue is that almost all restored busses are getting it ,so my question is does it need it or is it fine the way it is? i think the cost is around $1500 ,i would set up a poll but dont know how

Definately!!!! To go that far and not do the trim..... It will just finish it off. Fantastic job by the way. The hardest part about the trim is the 160 or so holes you have to drill.

P.S. With red insert.

ok trim it will get,
i am picking up a early t3 gearbox and rear drums from a guy tommorrow ,after that its the trim ,then the motor ,then the interior trim.
so classic vee dub how much for the trim.
so it looks like the bus will sit for another 6 months. one day it will go again. my problem is i get all the bits that look good before the bits that make you able to rack up miles. i find myself with no money alot

Hahaha...You ain't the only person on the island baby!!!!
Everyone needs something to keep em poor I reckon.
Go the deluxe trim for sure..go for a sheep and not a lamb I reckon.
The polished trim will look the bee's knees with that colour scheme.

Do it man. That is a top bus. The trim would be the finishing touch, with the red insert like 65busser said..............:P
