VW came out with the best damn colours.
Although I would question my 78 brown. Some elbow grease and she could sparkle

thanks for the compliment. the paint code is L63H Sage Green. it's a close match but a little off from the original. pinstripes were replaced also much to the wifes dismay

It really is all about the pinstripes - definitely the finishing touch...It's always neat to see the different variations on busses from the 70s... _________________ <---Air Cooled Search & Rescue Team - STICKERS & T-shirts for sale!

this thing basically had no interior when we got her. outside of some beat up westy cabinets thrown on the floor and vanagon front seats. i have literally had this thing taken apart and reassembled 3 times now(engine/trans out, eng/trans in/interior out/in/out/in)new metal,glass out,new seals......it's been alot of work but worth it! every time this thing hits the woods for a camping trip is better than the last no trailering this bus around
