One hell of a project. Awesome work so far. Keep the updates coming

Busy day yesterday
Belly pans test fitted, will use spray insulation on underside of floor and weld in belly pans. Now realise I don't know where the brake lines run? Inside belly pans?
Front and rear safaris test fitted along with deluxe trim
Rear lights holes cut, this has single tail lights only, guessing the indicators are wired to the brake/tail lights?

hi Linz

Beige Grey - top (L472) and I assume bumpers
Sealing Wax Red - bottom (L53)
Blue Grey - Interior (77)

don't know on the sunroof but guessing a pale beige grey colour... will worry about that later..

I really like the rolling rotisserie set up. Did you make this one? Where can I get one?

Looking at how much you have done in a short time makes me feel bad about how much time I'm taking on my samba! Good work

High quality work, looks amazing well done . I'm getting back into people's builds to get motivation to continue with my own. Will be following this closely

Rotisserie I bought from a guy on the northern beaches, happy to measure the tube sizes for anyone. Will sell it post painting ....
Was really helpful for the rebuild especially with the underside though you still need 2 people to flip it over

Trial fitted the deluxe bumper trim today, new from the guy in Thailand and may put the originals on my ratty sc
