At last you get me.
Great job (being serious for a change, but dont tell anyone???)Purple will look great.
Dont listen to others, no matter what, I always wanted mine grey with cream, thats what I did and I am happy,
you do with your bus whatever you want because its yours.
Bet you cant wait till shes on the road.
Bit of advice ( for what its worth) the first drive, go on your own, I'm glad I did, as I would have looked a right dickhead to others as they just dont get why you are laughing the whole time.
Dont worry, it doesnt stop, its a split thing.
Cheers
Dave
not trying to be rude here, but what is the total cost to get it up to the primer stage (guestamit) excluding the initial purchase ???
Just for interests sake...

Hey Rach,Lizzys great,of course she misses you but i'm looking after her.:thumb
Dave,i have no doubt purple will look great & i fully intend to do whatever i want as i have done the whole time.I've wanted a split since i first started driving Kombis 10 years ago & i can guarentee i will be smiling for a hell of a long time once shes on the road.........even if she is a converted panel!!!!!!!:P
Da Wiz,i've probably spent about 7 grand so far.Thats beadblasting,all rust repair panels,all body work plus afew accessories like bumper overriders & towel rails(which are heading to be chromed....mmmmmm!)mirrors,lenses etc....oh yeah also includes the mechanical work i had done as the bus ran when i got it so just had afew things fixed & a bit done to the brakes etc..so once shes painted & put back together the engine can be put straight back in & she'll be ready to go.
Thanx everyone else for you're kind words,it really is a labour of love & regardless of the whole panelvan with windows debate etc..... which i must admit was really getting me down,i really love my bus & can't wait to get her on the road.:kiss

Nice colours, looks great.
The interior has to be white and purple, or a bit of black, dont try and add another colour.
