I think there's a lot of similarities. But when I looked through there wasn't anything on the Doka Rear seat/doors. The electrics section didn't show the battery in the engine bay, so I imagine a few of the junction boxes and fuse locations my differ. I'm not that worried but wondered if there was a...

I've just received through the post the Bentley manual (I see why the postage was high now!) but after a quick glance through, it doesn't seem to cover the Doka. Are there other manuals or guides that cover the commercial vehicles? Most of the information is still relevant but there's bound to be a ...

Great thread, the detailed pictures are really useful for me to pick a few this up from, but I doubt I can keep my build area that clean however!
I like the use of the wooden hammer formers for getting the panel returns.

I was debating on the joggler as I've seen a few pneumatic ones which would save my arms.
I'll keep raiding Lidl/Aldi middle Ilse for stock of the step drills!

Hello, I've been lurking on the forum for a while but first time posting. I've recently brought a Doka to restore and it needs a lot of welding, of which I was aware of before buying.
