Re: OFFICIAL : 1976 Bay Window 2000cc
Almost done, coming home soon 
Just a reminder of the progress... The front Vent Grille/Cover will be replaced once she is home... along with the front logo...it seems they are getting lazy at the paintshop. The one dude convinced my dad to get a vinyl logo on, i refused so ill have to find another use for that cutout he had made, ill have to fix up the logo myself.
Hopefully she is home this weekend, then i can refit the seats and upholstery. Urgently looking for mirrors, at least driver side, if anybody can help out please let me know.

Re: OFFICIAL : 1976 Bay Window 2000cc
In Dawn, on the way to Wilsonia, on he opposite side of the railway line to Johnson & Johnson is a panel beater/mechanic (I use the term very loosely) (for years there use to be a large Unimog Safari truck parked outside) who has three or four bays in his back yard with hobo type characters living in them. I've bought a bay mirror from him before for R30.00. He may have another as well as what ever other spares you need.
If a married man speaks in the forest and his wife is not there to hear him, is he still wrong?

PS for a UNIMOG that has been standing there a couple of years already that one looks awasome... but i didnt still talke shop with them.
Perhaps Will return at a later stage to find out some more about it, ive always wanted one.
