    Looking good ski man....you will be finished before us, as we still have a lot of interior still being recovered etc. we did get the console, brake, and the piece of rubber which goes above the window painted Tan yesterday.....the bumperettes on (what a task that was for R) and the headlight surrounds which had been re-painted....we have all the dash, and the wiring to finish off, pretty much the van will be as new so much more work to do than you. our bailey chanel arrived yesterday so we can now but the windows in and the door rubbers on. Our red van however is just exterior and a bit of a tidy inside so will be far easier and quicker to do like yours....

    Fresh pics!!

    here's some shots from this afternoon, finally had a minute or two to get the camera out now that its nearly at that stage you could call finished.

    Decal set goes on tomorrow so below is my xmas present without the pretty wrapping














    hand made door trims, as there's a wait on dash original ones of 6 months


    pretty well an entire interior, retrimmed seats, new carpet, door trims and full hoodlining, proper grains used all round, center console and lower dash to go back in after xmas


    yes, my painter thought it would be nice to tidy up the rear and spray it black - grrr!

    more photos to come tomorrow with a fresh set of the finest sandman decals!
