I'm a bit of a purist but this color combo looks pure. Nice work joe56vw.

Wow that looks great!
You should travel back in time and convince VW to run this as a stock color combo

Did you use woodworking clamps to put them together?  Your bus looks super sweet! I just spent 8 hours building and installing popouts and safaris in my bus. |
No I live on an island and couln't really find any good ones for a reasonable price
So I wrapped some furring strips with shop rags then used some rackets straps over them

over the winter did a lot of small things to the bus that really weren't too exciting
after coating the insides with POR15 I stripped and paint the decklid
rebuilt and painted the steeringbox
polished my new spoons latches
first time on it's wheels in over two years, garage door was broken so I couldn't push it outside yet
finally got the door fixed a few days ago and rolled it out today for a bath
have to raise it up since it's rubbing on this side pretty bad
after an hour of trying to mount the decklid since the new nut plates I made had some issues in their new home I realized I put the hinges on backwards oh well it has to come back off to fix all the mounting issues anyway
since I had to moved the bus to fix the garage door properly it's just a roller at the moment, most of the suspension will have to be taking apart again and set up correctly but it should be easier the second time
