Na its not boring, I reckon its kinda exciting seeing a shell at this stage, the anticipation of how damn good its gonna look in that top coat. I
cant wait till my Oval is at this point, I've got all the scary metal replacement still ahead of me.
Looks nice, interesting colour suits the year well I think. Love those retro sorts of colours, what is it? Should look the goods when the outside is
done.

nope it is pretty close to Pampas Green, but a bit more candy...Wals bus is Turkis...the whole thing is gonna be the same colour. 65Busser is doing
most of the trim in light grey...trying to avoid black, apart from the BRMs....it's an anti-bling thing...starting a new trend...ein Bus, eine
Farbe.

stocker for now ... heres a few more pics today. I'm yet to see it in the daylight ...Thanks to Kimm at Indian for the pics. Gotta modify the spring
plate adjusters to accommodate the BRMS and rubber, which is why its still got those shite rims on it ... still at least it's got doors now...

No to the turbo, spoke to Dave B and KG, the work that had gone into it would have been wasted to a large extent, as it would need major mods to get
in the splitter...better for a bug - and it was a great price ay....so sticking with the 1600TP and the Lbug box for now, should be okay for now....he
said, sulking over not having a Sube motor like Pete.

Superb - I think the drop sills blend in effortlessly. Nice work - what wheels will you be running (or is that secret?)?

Got some black BRMs ... but need to modify the adjustable spring plates to get enough travel to to get them into the back end...hense the old rims. I
had to go with 205/65R15s to get the load rating I need on the back. Long story, but basically more mods needed on the suspension.
The back is Indian bolt in IRS with their adjustable front beam etc., so there's a bit of work still to do to get it right.
Hanging out for that photo....

Crew.. Thanks for the pics. I have a 67 Panel, and needless to say, pics like this inspire me.
But I have noticed something on yours, that isn't on mine. You have an extra set of vents to me. I only have upper vents, where as on the opposite
side to your petrol filler,(LHS), has extra vents, being the lower set.
Any reason? Or do you not know why this is the case either?

Muller thinks that this might in fact be as late as 68...Australian Panels in 67 Had two sets of venys as 65Busser sez. Above and below. The ones
above are plated off, but force air down. They are also inverted as compaired with a windowed van...Steve sez it's rare as, I've been trolling 'the
samba' and can find out squat. They are the same both sides...look cool...but they we're rough as guts...took weeks to straighten...and they are
damn sharp, so work stopped a lot due to loss of blood....
Australian one ...
Yankee one - and I liked this bus! it's earlier though and I think Mango Green
and a Yankee 67 - but someone modded the rear vent...but you can see what most of them look like...

Hmm.. Well, without taking over the thread, I just took a pic of the panel, and I am leaning towards it being a 66 then..
What do you think?

it's a 67 , 66s had the vents above the waistline but without the solid part in the middle. all "double vents" buses are 67
it is an australian and south african only thing.
but.....
a small number of 67s had double and a half vents like ccc's |
