Hello hello,

Nice work, I like the interior. Just wondering why the steering wheel wasnt changed. Those standard ones are much to big. At least that is what I think.
And I hate the curtains. :)

Greetings from Robert

Thanks I have let the original steering wheel because there is no power stearing, so it makes turning easier. I like the big wheel :)
The curtains look better in the flesh.. pictures don't do them any justice...

My next job is going to be to build some additional storage in the very back into the roof space (like on a wesfalia but full width) The main bit is working out how they fit on ?

Bolted into the underside of the bed in the pop-top! I have a Reimo conversion shoehorned into my panel (although I haven't sold out and cut windows into all that beautiful German metal!) and the top locker is drilled through the roof and bolted/spot welded into place. The bed then hides all this.

Could you drill through where the roof bars bolt on and clamp everything together? Would this be safe with that roof box?

Love the conversion and work you've done, and those rims look tasty!

That looks spot on. Wasn't sure that the BRM's would look right but they do. Interior retrim is lovely :ok
