Paint looks great shame about cutting windows into a panel van though especially if it's a 67 :shock:

The van was already cut in the 80's by a Volkswagen dealer in Germany and fitted with Perspex both sides. More to the point it was a heap and now it will live on to be enjoyed.

Didn't mean to offend you like I said it's looking good. I suppose it comes down to personal choice when restoring a bus weather you want to return it back to a panel or leave windows cut into it. We get a lot of guys out here in oz that cut windows into panel vans and and I just think why didn't you just buy a window bus to begin with :roll:
Like I said good looking bus and yes another one saved and soon be back in the road

I'm not offended. I liked the bus, it is super early and rhd but for it to be a family van it had to stay with windows. If it was purely for me I would have probably converted it back.

 

[mozzie]

Yeah nice one look forward to seeing it finished

Love this - love the windows. I had a panel with perspex windows cut in and they looked dogger - but those ones look spot on.

A really busy weekend seam sealing the work underneath and stonechip for lasting protection. Had my arm twisted to paint the arches in, which I'm pleased I did. New beam fitted and the porsche 944 turbo brakes and 16" fuchs. Finally getting there
