:-) Thanks...

I cant import a car to Thailand.
Cos I got to pay tax about 300% added to the car value.

Your bus might cost $50000 AUD. here. not kidding.
It's tax wall! ... Do you know how much for a new beetle here?

:-) $120,000 AUD! let me say WOW!

really loving watching the progress on this camper. It's gonna be a beauty when it's finished. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Is the plan to keep it OG and velvet green?
....it really tied the room together........

Nice one, I'm sure Tony will do a great job (with your assistance of course!).

What did you end up doing for the seat belt anchor points in the rear (ie. not the lower mounts that go through the floor - moreso the ones at shoulder height (unless only lap belts are used)?

Cheers
