I'll have to lift the front, as it is just too low - even though the stance upfront unloaded is perfect

Sensational job.
Seems to fit well without major dash alterations.
Which particular Vintage Air model did you use?
Cheers,

Thanks Scott. I used a Gen IV system. I had read that it was a tight fit, but it seemed to fit nicely - just had to be mindful of where and how to
route the hoses etc which all worked out in the end .
Cheers,
Trevor

A small but rather major update. Goodbye to the two-tone Bus (with test panels of various shades of white) and hello to 'bright white'.

Finally dusted off the Bus, after a long time sitting on the back burner. Installed the GoWesty Gauge Upgrade with the LED bulbs etc.this afternoon
after work. Wow! What a difference, I now have dash lights. Honestly, pretty simple install - my Gauge Cluster has an analogue clock and no
tachometer.
Now onto other minor things this weekend, like power windows, new dual horn and a thousand unseen things.
