Can't wait to see this one when it's finished. Rosie and Heidi were both very good practise for this one!
Bring on the green panels! Laughing

The inner panel is the reinforcement for the sunroof, the same panel as used on a deluxe.

The hay was a previous owners attempt at insulating the bus as part of a really sweet camper conversion. This conversion also included wrecking the rear seat frames, cutting out the bulkhead, and attaching all kinds of wooden strips inside the bus, holding in moisture and causing it to rust even more than a standard bus.

What's the straw doing in there and why are there roof window openings in the inner panels ???

It's the rear seat... It looks like someone took the upholstery off the original frame and remade the frame out of square tube and wire. The bus has some weird brackets in it, that seems like it would allow all of the seat frames to lay flat, even through the cut out bulk head.

Does anyone have any detailed pictures of a BD Kombi with the rear hard-board panels option? I think the ones in this bus are original, but they are not the same material as the door and kick panels.

Cool, I look forward to updates.

Is that the center seat? That looks totally weird.
