Same colour I'm painting my bus when ready.
Couldn't find the actual name or code but then had it mixed to match an interior panel which was original.
Can be bought at Silverton Auto Paint known as AlanWesty Blue.

Some more progress today. All new (German) rubbers are currently being fitted. It's actually silly. I'm on holiday in Kruger at the moment but I'm looking forward to getting back so I can collect the kombi on Sunday!

Finally home. I started fitting all the bits and pieces back. Still need to refurb the bumpers which I will do in time.

If you need the front VW badge, I have a new one for you
Got the incorrect one as mine needs the bigger one.
You can have it for what I paid for it
PM me if interested.

Re: 1978 Baywindow Project (Picture heavy)
Thank you Herman but I do have one already. Just need to fit it. Just trying to decide the best way to do so.

Re: 1978 Baywindow Project (Picture heavy)
Making some nice progress to the outside. I have fitted all new rubbers (including under the door handles) except the front doors which I am only receiving the kits next week.
I'm also thinking of fitting the old style Volkswagen badge (from the lowlight) to the rear instead of refitting my original badges as they are in such bad condition. I know this is not correct but i think the lowlight Volkswagen badge looks better.
Then it's onto the interior which I have already repainted and rust treated.
