1962 Split Kombi VW Camper Project! Picture heavy!

Looking really good Lee, won't be long before i can come down and watch tv

Yeah won't be long till my nice curved seat is in!

~Lee

Don't forget to install a tea mug holder and a chocky biscuit barrel

Some of my upholstery is back, less than what should be hear, but I am still happy! Should have most of the rest by next week! But we will see!

~Lee

Is it going to be the club meeting hall at the shows

Thanks, I might see about them widening the doors and halway so we can get it inside.

Ohh and the Red Arrows already has a bar

I am determined to use it, but we will see....

A few more bits and pieces that have been done!




Gas Struts!





Ohh and a bit more upholstery appeared today!





A before picture of the seats as these have gone away to be covered!





~Lee

won't be long now

Remember the pic of the front seats previously! ^^^ Above.

Here they are now!







Loads of work has been done on the back bits as well, this is how its looking now!






Next I need carpets, any ideas? Want something the same colour as the red of the seats. Will probably have to get them custom made.

~Lee

Seats are looking good and they are really comfy.

Lee

For the amount you would need try a local carpet warehouse / shop.
Might get enough 'off cuts' to do the job.
Carpet suited for hallways and landings is quite robust.

You could get the tape, stitch and bind the edges, a few carpet press studs would hold it in place.
Can be removed to clean etc.

Cheers, Tony told me today about a carpet place in Ramsgate that has loads of stock they are selling off cheap, so I will head off tomorrow and report back with what I find!

~Lee

Dad decided to surprise me on Saturday morning with what he had done Friday night!






How its looking now! Very happy, going to put adjusters in the front beam to get it to sit as low as the back and most likely a narrowed beam, to help with turning circle!

Will send another email to Volksworld Show tomorrow

Until next time,

~Lee

Wish I could say the same!

Okay not much to update but here is another little snippet! Have been ordering loads of goodies and they are flying to me from all over the world. Well just Singapore and there not that interesting but are another big bit to get this closer to completion!

This is what has been happening as of late, I will let the pics do the talking! Btw I think the tint is a bit strong on the windows! At least I won't need curtains.






58 Days to Volksworld! Is it even possible??? Ha!

~Lee

You'll make it

lee if you are pushed for time and want a hand finishing it off, i am sure tony can help. lol!

Lee, where did you get the upholstery done? I'm looking for someone to do the front seat on the P4.
