So, I enjoy working on and restoring\rebuilding cars and Bikes, although it's not a primary job, but more a hobby. Having recently sold a 356 Speedster replica, and wanting to get back into Surfing, chatted with the missus and decided to get a Campervan which we would use for short, 1 or 2 night stayovers. Hunted around the local market and finally caught this, a nice condition 74 baywindow. As is usually the case, he needed some TLC, and we decided to do a repaint and interior rebuild. I didn't like the interior and wanted to put our own spin on a Camper build. This was my artwork of what I expected he would look like once done. mechanically, the bus was solid, so decided to get the rust removed and resprayed by a shop as this wasn't my forte'. Once back from the workshop, I then re-did the interior myself. Curtains get done, and cupboards packed. Off on our first "test" Camp out. So that's that. now and then I do something more, made him some "eyes' on the Windscreen sun shield. all in all, enjoying the Van now and intend to use him frequently this Summer around Cape Town. Cheers Alan
