Very nice job! You took the good way by changing full panels instead of patching and hammering the originals. I did the same on my 76 Bay, after I first weld patch panels and battle trying to straighten the side panels... Rolling Eyes

Poor quality panels are also a pain in the ass, a huge waste of money and time for a result not up of the work put in the job.

Greetings from Belgium Wink

Wow... nice work. The engine looks really good. I like all the original parts on it. Looks nice and stock and original.

With you being in Europe, you shouldn't have a problem sourcing one of these original Pierburg fuel pumps to replace that Brazil one. Those Brazil pumps are known for having the pivot pins fall out since there are no securing clips on them. The Pierburg pumps have clips, cut off valves and fuel filters in them. It's 100 times better than that Brazil pump. Very Happy

Thank you.

Not just for sharing your work, but for doing it. As a lover of these old Buses it makes me happy to see another one being brought back.

Thank you.
