Yes............ and no.
Was reversing into the garage after a tinker. The wind picked up, closed one of the garage doors on me, and gouged some GT stripes into the rear LHS panel. Well chuffed!

Matt. (more pics soon)

Headling

Post by brad@busnbug »

Been fitting a LHD perforated headliner to Matt's bus while we've both got some time off. What a hoot.

The headliner and material isn't expensive. I think I paid about US$150+/-
The problem that we have been facing is simply that the Wolfsberg West ones are made to fit LHD vehicles. What is the difference? Not much, but silly things like the cargo doors are on the wrong side. We were wondering also if there are trivial differences between us and them. ie: set up of the rear door hinges, possible also that the cabin airvent is slightly unique. Otherwise, fits like a glove!
Over to you Brad for more techo info.

PS Highly recommend the WW ones. In fact recommend them for anything!

Another pretty productive day, but having to modify and compensate for the fact that the liner is meant for something else is a real brain#%@&. I reckon it's for a 65 and later, but we don't know the differences that may exist between US and OZ busses. It's starting to take shape though. There's a piece of trim that squeezes between the roof section and the window section...so where the two meet will look nice and tidy. It also has the benefit of pulling the liner a bit tighter laterally.
Darren you can fit just the roof section, but I think you get the sides as part of the kit. The sides come as a length of matching perforated vinyl that you simply cut to shape and glue to the window area. Best done with glass out....so for you it would make sense to do the roof only.
