I was wondering about water run off. Does it really go all over the door or stick mostly to the ends of the door? I don't plan to drive it in the rain but it will get washed, so great insight...better to think of it now. If necessary I could take the padding off and just leave the dyno mat under neath.

Keep the updates coming. No, the sunroof rails won't be in the way.

Anyone know if I can put in the sunroof rails before the headliner goes in? Will it get in the way? Picked these up from vw sunroofs.

Assembly of the body is pretty much done, some small details left.

Izz, who sold me the raw safari frames went missing after I had them painted, so I was left without glass. Luckily someone told me Wolfgang had glass template for Izz frames, so sent the frames to them to have glass installed. They did a great job.

Finished assembly of the popout glass and front door glass. They are ready to go in, once the headliner is installed.

It really is a lot of fun. Sometimes its hard to get out of the garage.

Looking good! I love the assembly process, so fun to see it come together!

New correct wiper assembly also went in. In a prior post, I listed what came out of the bus, which was a later multi speed wiper.

Finished up the wiring finally. Kept burning lights until we figured out the 6v/12v bulbs and all is good now.

Left a power/remote lead for radio, along with a couple of speaker wires. Also a wire is hanging for the eventual install of a cigarette lighter that I can use for a phone charger.

Ebrake and pedals are into.

Amazing build and documentation...that paint is so sick!

Thanks for allowing us to follow your progress

Its jute padding, that you can get from the local hardware store. I bought a kit, with all padding precut, from sewfine, but you can cut your own if you just buy the stuff.

I put dynomat first, using the adhesive to make sure it stays on, then after it dried, put the jute padding on top.

The adhesive is Permatex headliner adhesive which you can get from local parts store or online.

Figured before I take the bus in for the headliner, better cover the top with insulation too, so knocked that out too.

Electrical was also coming along until one of the tabs on the ignition broke.

All that sound deadening & insulation.... so nice!!... just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap at work.
