Looks a million dollars mate, give ya self a pat on the back and have another beer. Anyone who can create something with that sort of outcome deserves
true credit.

i appreciate all the support as this is the first resto i have done , my mates use to come to me in the shed and say you havent done anything what
have you been doing all this time out here , shit it use to piss me off id be welding and sanding for weeks and get a dickhead telling me it looked
the same as when i started.
i guess this is why i ended up posting some pics to get alittle support as anyone who has been through this will know how much work is involved and
how it sends you crazy at times
thanks again darren |

its on the road sort of been test driven it with no seat and the safaris cracked wide open , not a good idea tears in the eyes. i havent got any rego
but its in a rural area with extremly quiet streets , here is a pic the first time driven to test the brakes, basically just testing the box and
brakes and oh the motor ,may have to add some strength to the back of the seats . the trim will be last to go on as it is to expensive to damage .
thanks for the support but i must admitt it looks better in the pics i think

dont go driving around too much with out sunnies mate. i had a mate who was on a bike run, who moved his glasses, probably to clear something from his
eyes... got hit dead inthe eye by a criket, which the coroner later found lodge part way into his brain!
i go everywhere flat out with my safaris open, but always with glasses. same as on my bike.

I had to stay with the inserts as the bloke here could only do 3/4 of an inch, too small for me.
Bus looks great.

Hi Darren............just checking out your oh so beautiful bus again & thought theres probably some newbies on here who need to see this gorgeous
girl.
i was also hoping you might have some interior shots if youve got your seats done yet as i'm still stuggling with the definete colour combo for mine
& as we seem to have very similar taste I would love to check yours out??
Oh....Snap.....!

brads still stiching up the rear seat as we speak might even be finished not sure, i will post a pic of my hood liner i have been working on for you ,
will post a pic of the interior /seats when they are all finished .
so hows your bus going it looks great?
how long before its on the road?
mine is so close its not funny ,the list of jobs on the bus goes like this finish hood liner (around 1 hours work)
finish the oil cooler set up (have hose and thermostat)allready mounted the cooler in poss.
get a temp guage and a sender fit those
purchase 2 175/55/15 tyres get them fitted to 2 original early beetle rims (can wait for this job)
fit the rear seat cover
then drive it everywhere untill it needs a resto again.
i will say this about the seats the front ones are not the same colour as the rear!!!!!!!! i cant wait to see it:thumb
