What a gorgeous bus. What are your plans for the back? Keeping the seats or going for a camper?

Truth be told I loved the patina. I thought you killed it until the post above. Looks absolutely stunning.

I think the white dash top is going to annoying with reflections though :roll:

Cheers for the comments peeps means a lot
As far as interior in the rear !thinking of full width rock n roll ,buddy seat behind driver,and cooker unit opposite,sort of westy I suppose,but I do have a 1970 ariba puck I restored a few years back ,
Can't wait to get it out to some meets and put some miles on he clock !

Couple new additions , worktop edging and thought I'd have a go on a sewing machine and see if I could make rear seats

Cool bus, how did you fix the box to the roof?

 

[vdubkev]

If you look at the 19pic back you should just be able to see there's a battern with angle of roof fixed to van and then another in box which I screwed through into the one on van ,if no good let me know and I'll take a few closer ups
