Light grey and a light grey/black carpet. Vinyl over dash, a-pillars and around windscreen - not sure what colour yet.
Door panels will more-than-likely be grey velour (maybe red vinyl like it originally was?).

Nice ... My 65 is running red and grey interior... it was the best part of Vernon when I bought him so its gotta stay.
Now that u have sprayed your oval do u think the grey is spot on or would a lighter grey suit it better???

To be honest I would prefer it to be slightly darker, as per the original Gunyah Grey. But hey, it's a veedub wearing a veedub paint, that's
as happy as I can be short of having the original grey! :thumb

Finally worked out the demister dilema!
Got a fan off a Kombi, not sure what it did on the "brick on wheels" but it now blows air onto my windscreen.
:bounce
Just have to hook up some flexi hose from both outlets and connect them to the heater channels.

One fan, cantral inlet, left and right outlet.
Flap on each outlet.
Not sure of year model but can find out easily enough.
Ready for the road - just the windscreen washer bottle, washers, front blinkers and brake fluid reservoir to go then off to the auto elecs.

It's home and it lives.
Got it home this morning (with a ding in the rear left guard that I didn't order :cry ).
Put some fuel in the fuel line and started her up. I love that sound, I've been missing it heaps.
Now just have to pull my finger out and hopefully have it on the road for the Spectacular.

nbturbo: yep, sure will
Sam: yep, sure will
Craig: rims are 5.5" stockies for the time being with 205/65/15 and 195/60/15. Eventually will put discs all round but will wait and see what happens
with Glen T's "adventure" at the moment. Would like to go back to wide-5 pattern if possible.

Put 80% of the doors back together in the last coupe of days.
Got the doors closing properly, window winders in.
Just the glass, scappers and panels to go.
Also put front and reat swaybars in (cheers Craig)
(Should that be 50% then??)
