There's a real tight brains trust down there in SA. It's refreshing to see the VW spirit of helping out your mates is alive & well.
I'm looking forward to getting down there & meeting you blokes.
Bus is coming on great too BTW.

I do like black steel rims on a bus
No matter what happens they can't take you out in the street and shoot you......

A repair/rebuild I have been putting of since I got the bus
Pop out windows, I’ve read on thesamba how these can be a right pain the arse
I finally decided to give it a crack, wish me luck

Second set are pretty mint for old pop outs and have og white which I’m not sure is a correct match to seagull Grey
But only need a new outside rubber

Third set are average at best and might have to do till I find another set at maybe a swap meet at a later date
( sing out if anyone has a old set kicking around from a old bus )
Rusty did u keep all those frames u scored at the day of one year, looking for a latch holder for one frame
Cheers
