Shiny shiny

My old case now reconditioned by TES ready for fitting...now all I need to do is overhaul gearbox, brakes, wheel bearings, repair holes in chassis near engine mounts, buy and fit new exhaust, carbs and manifold, coil, leads, electronic ignition, pulley and vbelt.....can't think of anything else just yet!

Ready to stick a rocket stove in the back of Lucia and make the first SteamBus? ;)

The cuttin and the grinding!!!

Looking more like the old Haynes Manuel cover illustration by the day!!
So, to update, its 2x rear tubs, 2x outer rear arch, 2x complete jacking points, 1x outer sill, 1x inner sill, 1x battery tray, 1x lower rear quarter, 2x front seat belt mounts. The new inner sill from JK is fantastic (must be original VW Mexico).
Oh, the pain of cutting away at your bus. Slowly but surely the Rot is being removed.
