Just alittle info, these vents are the results of the german ckd kit for late 67 and 68 splits as the last split built in australia was in oct 1968.You will notice that the lower vents are actually blocked off it was cheaper for the germans to produce this larger euro spec panel and have the aussies block em off.Yes these are very very unique and way cool...wonder what the boyz on samba would think!!!!! great score hope you enjoy your reward cheers steve

Wow!. The bus looks great. It's a real credit to you and your Dad. Give yourself a pat on the back. I like the colours too. I can't believe how quickly you've got it sorted. Are you gonna take it around and show the old fella?
