Yep! Looks shamazing! Interesting that we have gone for a couple of similar touches - us bumpers, delux bumper trims without the side spears and harp mirrors arms.

You're clearly a man of good taste!

Love the bus, well done!!

Enjoying the thread. Beautiful job! I hope to see it in the flesh someday next to my S042. I do have 1 small question asI am doing a few small bits on mine before going to OCD next week. The brass catch that holds the big folding table in place while driving: Is the catch mounted on the floor or on the wall? Can't see well enough in the foto. I still have the bit mounted under the table but the other part is long gone. Picked up a new one at my local fancy pants resto hardware store and want to but it in soon.

Thanks in advance and see you soon somewhere.

Thanks, maybe see you at EBI?

Re the catch there is some debate about this, and as usual with westfalia they seems to do both on occasion. My research suggests the floor, see this link it has the measurement away from the wall too

Hope that helps
