Welcome Back guy. Glad to see the Bus is still alive and keeping you smiling. :) I vote the newer interior. It just brings a new age look. Imo

Decision has been made to get an expert to do this as I don't have the skills.

Mo loaded!

Kev is the expert I'm going to use, only issue, his workshop is the other side of London. I left at 9am this morning and got back at 8pm, only 280 miles but that UK traffic for you! 6 hours on M25 alone!

This is why I have chosen Kev, just have a look at his workshop.

And the fact he's a VW nut, look at his stash! Every Devon interior part ever made is in his collect, none for sale though :(

And to prove Kev is a VW fan, these are his personal beauties!

Yes a Samba and a fully original perfect 1951 bar door!

You're good Tony.....it's the start of the rear draw unit and we are enhancing with draw tops so the draws can double as additional work surface when open!

love it, thanks for sharing, not missing a post.

Wish Oak was cheap here, think we would have to settle for something classy like SA Pine, or MDF
