That's not good, and the pictures are sideways again, theres a train that goes from Adelaide to perth, you can catch it at port augusta , must be an easier option, driving all that way I don't think is a good idea, Ian

Ian yes sorry about the side on pics....
Drove the SC and 11 window across in November (few pics and sine the right way up!) and had a great 5 day trip so I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t too bad... still a good trip but did hay to freo in a rental car!

Hi Griff- wonderful job on the bus, and the headliner looks taut - hard to do. The sunroof cover rear attachment at the roof looks wrong- the fold looks reversed as the cover is "under and over " the metal retaining strip.
It may just be a photo artifact of course.

Looks fantastic. Where did the diamond pattern material come from for the door cards etc? Hope they make it in the right colours for a mango!

Gents
Door trim etc is blue grey and not available from TMI
I got this from Corey Bloom on the Samba though Clara (also on the samba) does it too as well as the kick panel under rear seat and middle seat panel (though I found original ones)
Happy to take better photos for you or email you their details
If interested drop me a line at
