Thank's, can't wait to see it cleaned up and out in the sun together with the trailer.
And for the handles, some difficult work ahead to get them back in working order.

And than their is the next project under work:

Since the big company in Wolfsburg made me very angry, I never will buy again from them. So, I plan to remove all the logos from the Highway, so it's difficult to see from which company it was fabricated.
First project is a new fiberglas-grill, I got last week. I had planned to get it chromed, but it's too long, so I think I will let it paint similar to the G-Body grills. Outside in silver, around the headlights silver and in the mid in black.
But first, I have to check, if the grill will fit (never trust a fiberglas-part again since my first rearwing for my former Vanagon, which didn't fit after painting :-( ) and than will go the paint-shop again.

Today was the day, and I was able to drive the Highway back home.

As I arrived at the paint-shop, I saw a really nice scene with an old VW Karman Ghia convertible side-by-side with the Highway:

And than the first shot outside, after I arrived home:

I also recoded all the locks and reassembled the door-handles, so that I can install them during the next days.

Next will be a testfitting for the fiberglasgrill and than it will go the paint-shop together with the lower grill and the plastic-housings for the fog-lights. And the sunvisor needs some paint more, they only painted the upper side and let the underside white :-(

You won! cheers

It was a long time - nearly 4 weeks except that one evening where I removed the upper part of the divider wall -, but it was the waiting time worth. I really like the new look with the silver roof (in the Netherlands, their is a G20 lowtop dark colour with airbrush-mural on the side and a white roof - and that Van looks really similar to the Highway), and the chance to stand upright in the Van is really good. Sadly, no one gets younger frown

The next modifications are under work, and I hope to get most of them done for the Dodge City Rumble next month.

My van has been in storage since the end of Oct last year, this March and April sucked in WI!!! Snow and cold!!! I also had an issue with a stripped lug nut on my back wheel and today finally got it off. Broke 6 drill bits and 1 screw driver but didn't damage my aluminum slot! Now those wheels will be headed to www.ocontometal.com for a full polish, and I also have brand new BF Goodrich Radial TA's going on in place of the Cooper Cobras, going to run the white lettering out this summer. Tomorrow I'll be changing the oil and filter, should be ready to go in the next week but they are saying cooler weather again by the end of the week. I need to move south!!! Oh well, one thing at at time...
