I love the extra vent.
It's kinda like a genetic abnormality - perhaps it's mother natures way of allowing the Splits to evolve and survive Global Warming - just like the flared guards allowed it survive the 80s...

yep if all goes well with a buy this will go in the future cafe as its original use (pmg) on display
instead of being the shop bus plus a wrecked split & i mean wreck.
ray dont worry i will stack em 2 high to save you some room heh heh.
dubbindan nice pickup all the panels ive seen have 2 or 3 vent for the cargo area this one has 1 vent
has me stumped maybe the guru can shed some
light on the 1 vent panel.

hah just clicked to why this panel has one vent it was cut just under
the top vent for windows but now been welded back in the holes either
side & didnt worry about putting the missing vent/s back in.

seeing as my bay was slammed head on the other week i decided to get the panel rego so im not driving the turkis bus every day.
last thing to do is change the wiper motor for a beetle 12v with 2 speed,
the arm is upside down when i took pics but all good now.
what does everybody else do about wipers, i had a 6v converted to 12v
put into janns bus but it burnt out within days, a waste of money that was
so i modified a beetle wiper & no problems at all with 2 speed.
