Your bus is actually a standard not a kombi. They both have 11 windows, but a kombi doesn't have interior panels or two tone paint. The next time you stop by, I'll show you all the differences on my 65 kombi.
I hope you don't mind me posting a few pics of the interior.
Now compare that to the interior of my kombi. My bus had a camper kit added, but the cargo area is primered and yours has white paint. My bus also has no headliner and the dash/front passenger area is painted the same as the exterior.

There are several methods to massaging a panel back. I would research shrinking discs and stud welders. I have used a shrinking disc with hammer/dolly work and have been real happy with the results. But with that said, the shrinking disc will require paint removal. Good luck that looks like a pretty good challenge.

| Please, please, please post pictures as you try to massage that panel back to straight. It would be most impressive if you could manage to do it. |

I have all the tools needed to straighten this up so I'm set. However ill probably do this as my last priority on my list since this will be the biggest challenge of this project.

Oh man Id love to see the repair of the long panel. Video would be tops. The pimp my ride guy over in austraila did that. Loved his videos. You might check him out. He had the video in fast forward half the time so you really could get a good mental handle on what it was like to do the work he did.

somethings up with the flashing of the lights. Either your 9 pin box is taking a dump or someting else is wrong. The flashing lights dont stay off for anywhere near the "on time". It does flash but Id say it will get worse.
