Looking good! Great progress. Probably the ONLY car where the mirror "socks" actually work! :hangloose:

I am sure if you go talk to MTN this could be the AYOBA tour bus :twisted:

Thanks guys. flip i tell you its been a long road. She has been off the road for just over a year. in that year i have been retrenched, gotten married, found an even better paying job, moved house, been promoted and well fixed up a kombi. i think the end product even if i do say so my self is well really nice. We ordered the fabric for the interior on Monday. and ordered some rock and roll hinges for JK some friends will be smuggling them back to SA for us :) ssssshhh don't tell any one.

Thanks for the support guys
