No progress this time on the bus as my partner has a broken leg!! which meant although I was home for an extra week I was unable to work on the Kombi due to looking after the kids and her... the sacrifices we make I did take possesion of a drivers side complete A pillar from das restos which arrived in the post.. I was going to try and repair the original but decided new was the better option considering the job it does.
Also had pieces for a headlight support bracket made/ rolled locally... 2mm sheet cut and rolled to match original with 5mmx 40mm flat bar rolled to be welded to the 2mm in three places as stiffeners across the bracket and the required lip at the bottom cut out of 2mm to match the radius also to be welded on... its part of the stiffening of the front end that I am going to do... forgot to take pics of the pieces.. duh
