[QUOTE="nwilkins, post: 529423, member: 18172"] Thanks for your lovely comments fellow early bayers To reproduce my strips 1) Took measurment of orignials I founds under years of repaints 2) Carefully drew out on van with pencil [img]http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1308952.jpg[/img] 3) Masked up each stripe with normal masking tape 4) Painted with rattle can at night with a head torch 5) The orig stripes were gold and two green colours which my local car shop did not have these colours so I picked three retro colours 6) with 800grit paper plus water just sanded back Cost = £11 for three small cans of paint Seat belts brackets = Both home made and non standard, big 5mm plates underneath in the fuel tank compartment I had to drill a 12mm hole in my westy cupboard which I did not like doing but my kids saftey comes first Cheers NickW [/QUOTE]
