Your van looks sweet dude!

This was the same show last year. I'm not completely sure the Porker wheels are an improvement, though... :oops: :wink:
 
love it, clean and straight as fook! 8)
 
Thanks a lot, guys! I am really happy with it! This winter all the welding around the rear arches and some minor work on the cab floor will be done. The welded parts will be spayed as well.

Last night we had our monthly cruise night. Only a couple of EB's arrived:

Now I really have to polish and wax it... :roll: :wink:

Oh, and happy new year everyone! I might come over to the Volksworld show this year, but I'll let you know when it's sure. :wink:
 
That looks really nice. :D I have to get the exact same job done on mine before the show season. Did you use full size repair panels (if so, whose?)or did you just do localised repairs to existing panels?
 
Looking good Airtime , Yeah come over to Volksworld show join the line up 8)
 
Hi guys, thanks for the comments. 8) I used these repair panels for both sides:

I think the manufacturer is Klokkerholm.

@ Grazy: When I come over it will be a one-day visit and I'll fly in then. :(
 
This is at my work in our (temporary) storage.

Thanks dude! :D

Most of the bus is OG paint, and I like to keep it that way. Only do the necessary repairs. 8)

@ Shaggy: A cut n shut is a good idea! :lol:
 
I have been busy on the bus, but didn't post any updates... :oops:

Well, here you go:

Besides the welding on the floor, I also put in a westy louvred window (because I like 'em!):
