Can't wait to see this thing buffed up! That roof looks scary but if you have to mess with a b-pillar the passenger side one is better than the drivers side, at least you won't have to worry about the seams.

So a lot of u know I've been hunting for a early bus project so when I dragged this home last year late October I was pretty stoked
Not much progress as yet with a busy harvest and playing farmer plus school holidays and now renovating a old machinery into the new vw workshop and car storage for my other rides but I could resist a little clean up to see how the og paint was

Good to see you are getting the hang of resizing and posting the pics mate. When I get the notch sorted again I'll have to come check out the mingo mango

Will catch up Ian at the up coming vw show in Adelaide for a chat if u about
Thinking maybe a full rag top for the roof figure if I'm going to take to it with a angle grinder might as well had a cool feature to the bus, I know a bloke who has rag top cut out of a samba hoping to score it of him and then get the rest from grumpy metal in the US

On a side note this bus is missing its front drivers door be keen to talk to anyone who might have on in og mango
Cheers
