Looking good mate. For fear of sounding like “that guy” tail light holes for a 61 should have slots not screw holes, screw holes was a 58 only thing I think.

Zero difference when light fitted.. don't be that guy 😂

This DC is being built to be a practical cruiser and will be far from perfect so I can use the shit out of it, without care or fear of scratches, dents or general abuse.

It will be far from OG..

Do you know where that bus came from? Looks like a bay I saw on a farm in Warnambool once when I picked up a splitty wreck.

Its been in out hillbilly circle for a while, reducing its mass slowly at each pick.. not sure of its history prior to this.. still a few good bits on it, which are about to be raided, then who knows of its next resting place. I will put it up on the local VW sites as a freebie, failing that it will be off to the scrap metal yard.

Are you going to blast underneath once the mods are done?

The hoist must make it so much easier, looks great and will drive much better too
