I don not have pics of it , I saw the SC it is realy bad but saveble , no engine and gearbox in it and need alot of other spares, the DC is complete but was hacked badly with a audi engine and gearbox conversion, it is standing on the moment with out the engine as it poped a head.

Took the DC out of the garage after 6 months of not touching it, washed her up, and parked her under the carport, gave her a quick buff with L-100 washed her again and then polished her with 3M Finesse, washed her again. Will start to do the door rubbers, lights and grill, bleed the brakes, fit the side shafts this week

As I said it's looking great. What are you planning for the interior?
My DC has a Caravelle interior, but it's seen a bit of service. I want to redo the carpets, panels & hoodlining when I have a chance. A/C is also lying in the garage waiting to be fitted. First priority is the engine upgrade though. I'm also working on a new dash with new VDO gauges, some storage pockets & cup holders. Sometimes you need 2 hands on the steering and then you need place to put the beers:-)
