Great bus!
I'd like to hear more about the interior panels.
Do they look like originals?
Got any more photos?
I installed Clara's interior panels on my '60 Kombi, and we haven't done the roof panels yet.
Any details would be appreciated.

J, they look original to me, I'll get some more detailed pictures and post them here. The roof panels are the best condition of all of them. I'd like to get the rest of the interior panels from Clara in the future.
