    Really chuffed, going to upholster the rear seats and rear cushion this weekend hopefully to match the front seats.

    oo. just this week I've built a rear top cupboard. Got some measurements wrong, so the door is held on magnetically! Just got to cover this in stuff!

    First VW show in the Camper. The new engine i put in is running really well (touch wood) so thought a trip to Run to the Hills was in order. There was some awesome campers about!!! good show!
     
  2. Some photos didnt load right, so here are the remainder!

    nice tidy bus mate, teledials look great!
     
  4. Good looking bus. Fair play on the upholstery!
     
  5. Very nice 8) Great work on the interior.
     
  6. Nice bus, did you buy that seat off me on eBay? I met someone in Newport with a burnt seat. :)
     
  7. LOL!

    Your poor mother working away!

    Everytime I park next to your I can't help but think i'd like some paint at some point.

    Looks great!

    ;D
     
  8. Paint's over-rated. Much cheaper to rust and then laquer!!
     
  9. Sweet. All the best Bays were made in '78 you know. ;)
     
  10. So, ongoing progress. Got foam for the rear. fully kitted out now for sleepy times! minus the curtains. should be made this weekend hopefully.
