MadaboutKitcars

Progress today.

First door primed, now it looks even longer.

Tony which car are those chrome headlamp rims off? thanks Geoff .

These are standard 9 inch mini headlights bought of Ebay, they came with the chrome but there seems to be two types, clip on or screw on, mine are the latter, so I had to make a hole undernieth the kit to access the screw, they are also showing early signs of pitting, better quality clip on ones are on ebay for around £20, I only spent a bit more an the whole units, but you get what you pay for. I will change mine for th better ones at some point.

Not intentional but my cat matches the interior.

Only two small spots of rust found on body, only surface rust and now treated, was worried about sills incase of filler, but when taken back to bare metal they are as solid as if the car was new not 20 years old,

Seccond door prepared for high build primer.

Looks photoshopped but its not.

Cheers Tony , Geoff .

Thwarted by the rain this morning, just about dry enough tonight to prime the other door, looks longer and wider now.

Other angle view with boot open.

Loveing the smoothe look, no swage lines.

Keeping the original brown mats for now, quite like the 70's look of them, but to cover up the Eunos Vspec badges will use chrome plates.

Mats fitted (retro brown accepted)
now in South Wales for a few days so unable to work on the kit, have actualy gone mad and now bought this from ebay, need to go north to get it home, its a like a VW camper but bigger!

I got up yesterday to find a card from Volksman on my kit, they are local to me for restoration of VW's and others but I have a sprayer in mind for the kit but was alerady looking at the Merc campervan, I think it could have been listed better as there were no other bidders, (I did my research and I am happy with my buy) Volksman is on facebook and his work looks good.

Should make an interesting project, needs a bit of work though!

May farm the body work out to the VW guy due to time, and just do the inside, hope to rent it out for summer.

Great, Moto-lita wheel, not for the kit though, came out of Dad loft.

Will it fit the bus?

Its 14 inch I don't think the bus has power stearing, but I fitted my dads other Moto-lita wheel to a series three Landrover, but I have other plans.

Back looks VW.

Front does not.

Needs to be more like this.

Or this.
