Well Brad , if i'm going to make a 15 window out of a 11 window I may as well make it into the Bus I always wanted, so I guess it will be a 58 15 window now, SWR and Chestnut Brown, still deciding on the big hole in the roof too. Ian

I would never say this about an OG bus with a good roof but cut that hole! Sunroof 15’s in my opinion are the best bus you can possibly have. The real thing is super super rare (like actually rare, not samba “rare”). You have the skills to pull it off Wiz.....and it’s already hacked anyway :lol: :lol: :lol:

I 100% agree with matt regarding rag conversion, then once u have finished u can cross the border into corona country help me do my rag install
I'm guessing shiney CB / SWR
I'm more of a fan of sunburnt CB/ SWR rather than shiney
Either way it will be one sweet looking bus

After my attempt at faking the patina on the 65 Ute I recon I am up for this. So it’s not going to be shiny, and I have Colin’s Samba to copy from, its now going to have an IRS rear I have coming from Type E Motorsports’s and a 80mm narrow Bay beam with drop spindles with the beam lifted up 30 mm in the chassis , Porsche discs, black Fuchs, and a caramel brown trim, 4 years in the making and I’m on the home stretch

Doors on, cargo doors still need the bottoms repaired, hatch and engine lid on to check gaps, sorting out door handles and latches, still a bunch of work to do.

Front beam finished and installed today, and fitted up some wheels to check the stance, overall very happy with the raised and narrow beam
