Vw split screen complete re-trim


Hello all here we have some pictures of a beautiful vw split screen bus for a great customer Dusty,  I have upholstered. It looks modern but retro with a lovely two tone colour match to the paint work. The first picture shows the bus started out .



This is the bus before restoration ,  the bus was very solid but as you can see it needed a lot of tlc.




A big step forward , this shows the bus almost there and ready for its paint. 




Wow all done and shiny and looks great. Now its my turn.... Two weeks of hard work but with a great two tone colour  to match the out side .





Here you can see all the interior trim all laid out and ready to be fitted. many hours   of work to get it to this point..



This shows the bus coming together, the rear seats going in along with the door cards. I fitted these with my hidden fitting system. The rock and roll bed fitted and the headlining all in place.



In goes the rear facing seating unit ,along with all new flooring to match. this unit contained a pop up tv, a really  neat extra. You can see the cargo doors fitted, note no screws to been Seen .




Well all done.... this shows the head lining in all its glory with the pop-out television ready to show many hours of films. cool.




The two above photos show the front seats and rear rock and roll bed cushions, all ready to be fitted  great detail  and attention was paid to getting the lines all straight as you can see.



This shows the rear rock and roll cushion fitted in place, tailored to fit round the rear hatch lock.



 A close up photo of the inset in wood the vw logo.... very nice touch. This was also used on the table top which makes it all come together very nicely .


 This shows the upholstery all fitted in all its glory, with the speakers fitted along with flush mounted plug sockets .


The cab area all upholstered and looking great along with the new floor carpet edged in black with coir carpet.


                     You can see the table set in place with the vw logo in to match .looks real great.



           Just a little extra........ a retro flyer trolley painted to match with matching upholstery.... nice.




And there we have it.... one of the best buses i have  had the pleasure to work on, it look stunning at its first show and if I can help you do your bus from a complete  re upholster like the above to a simple repair.
