Well I've finally got it in my hands. I'm very happy with the quality and this means I can finally move forward on getting this thing on the road.
Here it is
I've also the headlining and seat covers assist straps ragroof headliner etc. the seats are a work of art. I'll get some more pics of the oval once
I can reorganise some shed space back.
I'm about to now confirm to booking in date with my trimmer hopfully he hasn't pushed me to far back.
recycle, restore, enjoy

Awesome build mate, great attention to detail and perfection. Love the colour/pattern of the interior. Would be great to see it in the flesh one day

Thanks guys
I'm currently booking it in for my trimmer to get into it. Its taken so long to get the interior to my door that it put a whole damperner on the
resto. Now its here I've got new wind in my sails. I had wanted it to happen for Valla but since I'm looking at getting a Kombi repsrayed for Valla
( which I haven't started yet. only 11 weeks to go) I might have a little to much on my plate so since this has taken so long it can wait for summer
until it sees the tarmac.
recycle, restore, enjoy

No chance this is going to this Valla this time...and theres no chance it's ever going to be a tralier queen. I've pulled my finger out and I'm
starting to tick off a few of the larger "things to do"
So while I had the shed clear I thought it would be a great time to start back on a beam which was first started about 2 1/2 years back.
Here it is with the Burg Adjusters welded into it looking alittle unloved
All measured for a 4 inch chop

Now it's ready for the new end plates and towers, a little welding then some paint.
So I did manage to check in with Adrien to see how the trim is going and get a quick peek through the Oval window Kiddies

Before I sent it off to the trimmers I had to detail the set frames and assemble them ready for the coco fiber pads and trim
here's a few pics of the powder coated frames and the stripped and painted springs

The hard part is I've got to pull the cover on this so I can get the Kombi ready for the trip to Valla
