Nice work onthe nose Didi, cool progress

Thanks, I skinned the late bay, Jan welded the nose. It was a mission lining it up. No, not my fleetline. The picture was taken at Jan's place

Well, the manifolds were lying on the shelf, so I slapped them on. I must still decide, either the CB 48mm throttle bodies or my 36mm Dellorto 36mm DRLA's

Thanks for the kind words. Rebuilding a VW is a rollercoaster ride.

Got a ally case
Jan is still busy with the body

Here are some pictures of the Solex twin carbs that are going on the engine.

Here are some pictures of the bodywork sent to my phone today. I havent seen the bus yet, only got the pictures. I cannot wait to see the bus in person!

Looking good!
