So these came today, any guesses?

Image

Image

Top quality stuff, and very well packed too, looks like they should fit great

Image

Image

Image

Noise killer sound insulation also arrived, damn that stuff is heavy

Cheers

Can you let me know where to find these items? I am restoring an SO42 at the moment but keeping as much of the original paint as possible, your van looks great

John

Which items? The doorcards and kick panels? They are from a seller in the us on thesamba called Clara. Her price isn't bad, but shipping and duty is expensive

Pm me if you want more details

Cheers

So an update overdue...

Some more pics from Irv's before we went for another look

Image

Image

So we went and had a final look, took the front beam up, and the rear running gear, got them on, and fitted the steering box, as well as running some cables through the chassis, can't find any pics of fitting them though

And then it was time for collection, getting her home just in time for her 49th birthday on 1 March

Image

Image

Image

And fitted the old steeling wheel to roll it on

Image

And then time to get loaded up

Loaded onto trailer

Image

All wrapped in cling film and ready for the off

Image

So after a short journey home! We got unloaded and got cracking pulling the loom through and getting the shift rod fitted

Image

Image

And the rear end

Image

And then finally back in her home

Image

Then started on connecting the loom up...

More next time

Had. A day off work to try and get things moving, made good progress getting master cylinder and servo fitted up

Image

Image

Clutch and brake pedal all fitted up at this point too

Image

The Mrs was off as well so started on the soundproofing, I'm hoping it works as it is damned heavy

Image

We also got all the framework back in to the headliner and pop top

Image

Finish brake lines next time

As soon as I saw that packaging I knew those kick panels were from Clara. Really great quality and top notch packaging!

Bus looks superb.
