Classified add goes up after I finish the " BEFORE " side and paint the top half of the vehicle Indian red ; purple isn't the most saleable color.... |
Just park it up outside the Pinellas Park branch of the Minnesota Vikings supporters club and you'll be all set. 
Speaking of purple. Where did your love of the color come from? |

I thought I should check in and let the VW world know that it is finally cooling off in Florida and I will have a chance to get back to this project .
The red van has been great for camping overnight on several out of the area jobs .
I need to finish the Type 6 .

| Pete, just got off the horn with Desertbusdude. We were wondering about you, we talked about the type 6, or type 7 as he likes to call it. |

It's always nice to see a project completed
I really like the interior door pulls. What are they from? |

Like the color combo much better than before. My only criticism has been the placement of the rear bumper. It looks so out of place in position and style, but otherwise I love it.

I am truly blown away by the level of progress here. Quite simply amazing! Going back to the first pics in this thread, I like the consistency of having the same period bumpers, but it's not my car nor do I have the skills to do what's happening on these pages. Does it also need some air vents in the back to keep that motor cool? The car looks set for a neat wooden rack and a business name on the side.
To save some dough, have you considered tagging the car on an antique tag? I want to say that is a wee bit cheaper. |
