Hi Suzie do you still have the old metal front bumper? I'm looking for one to replace the caravelle bumper on my DC

Indeed. I want to improve the approach angle a bit. Nearly destroyed the caravelle one on an obstacle at De Wildt the other day

i am slowly busy instaling the rear seats with the sub box and amps and other goodies, the sub box is partial frame for the seats and is steal reinforced aswell, box not done yet, just try to test fit every thing then it must come out for sealing and then the seats must go for upholstery and the dc for carpeting.

Looks nice Suzie. Can't wait to see how this one looks when the interior is finished.
What seats did you use in the back?

Hi beetlefanatic, i wanted to use the new ford ranger rear seat but i already bougth these seat a few years ago and had 4 of them so i am fitting all 4, the seats are the front seat from a Mazda 626 early 1990's, so currently it will have only 4 single seats but i am planing to make a speacial seat for the rear that fits between the 2 mazda seats.
