Love the colour/trim combo. Looks awfully familiar

Its Savannah Beige but it does look very similar to your panel is that the color you used?
I have liked that combo since I first saw it on an 11 window in the states about 4 years ago.
If I had a pannel i would have looked for something else.
There is a guy here in Port that has just sprayed his bay window in the same color!

More progress on the bus.
Its been 20 years since i last undertook a bare metal resto.
I had forgotten how much work goes into one . Staggering really.
But inch by inch its coming together.
Some detailing around the frame horns.
Painted up and installed fuel tank.
Then fitted the engine repositioned coil (the captive nuts on the after market doghouse usually give way and it neatens things up (thanks Brendon).
Fitted up a dual circuit master cylinder and started bending up new brake lines.
Pedestal mats and sound deadening almost finished.
Some more to finish of running gear wise and electrics ( i would love to build a new harness like Scott or tinbits but the old will work)
Next the with help from Keith the headlining hopefully.
Fitted some nice window accessories thanks ppp.
And thanks to Brendon who is acting as project manager and tool library

Looking good mate. Why not put the coil behind the doghouse? Would look even tidier

It grinds along how about this

Headliner installed a couple of wrinkles still need work but its in !

And yesterday I reached a real milestone and fitted the rear 5 window including the two corners.
I had been dreading the job for a long while and read horror stories about the difficulty of fitting the corners and how they can brake easily eben one case on the samba where one developed a crack 24 hours after install!
But in the end the job was a breeze and the 24 hours ghave past so i can boast now. The rear hatch window was more difficult.
Ill put some pics up tomorrow.

Also bought some NOS hubcaps on samba they were comercials so I had them chromed. They are perfect.
