After a 1 year resto, here she is finished! Well almost!

Should have started with a rust free us bus, as 36 years of british weather had destroyed it!

ALMOST THERE!
I used Porsche 924 seats retrimmed in Alcantara.
The interior was made by a guy local to me and then trimmed in black with tan piping!

Wow that looks fantastic!

You should really think about taking a vacation to the States so you can help me make mine look that! Laughing

Congrats on a job well done.
