Brings back memories of when I did the door rubber on the single cab. Very tedious and time comsuming but the results were well worth it - really tightens-up the vehicle. I'm looking forward to doing the Vegas Bus .

Ron, I used GAF Stormguard. I read about using that on the Samba. A 200 square foot roll from Home Depot was a little over a hundred dollars. I put 2 layers on all the doors, roof, and sidewalls and still have some left over. Quite a bit cheaper than second skin or dynamat.

Got my new clutch, pressure plate, & throw out bearing so the engine is going back in this week with the new doghouse cooling set up. Been working on getting the flooring done and paneling up so I can start to put the seats and closet in next.
Also said goodbye to a 63 Beetle that we've owned for 7 years. Felt like I sold one of my kids. I have an amazing tolerant wife when it comes to VWs but I realized I couldn't drive 3 of them at the same time.

The interior looks great. Nice job.

Thanks Ken.... here's a couple more.

Great looking work! Nice attention to detail

Nice what exactly did you use for the flooring?

Its called Marmoleum by Forbo. I found out about it from a couple of threads on Westy flooring on the Samba.

It looks like you're getting stuff done with a darn good eye to detail to boot. Great work so far!

You are doing some really awesome restoration work Westy 65.
