2000 Karmann colorado

[KevDub]

2.5 TDi left hand drive. Just come out of paint and decals and such have yet to be fitted but I'll update.





Work in progress, but it's getting there..

I almost got one of those , but my wife would not let ie, it was let hand drive, we ended up with VW Autohome Explorer instead, with a nice rear lounge, it served us well for a few years.:cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1:

Left hand drive has never bothered us to be honest but our last van was LHD too.

That looks lovely. If I ever feel the need for something bigger, a Karmann will be on the list

Looks great with the individual colour scheme.

Thanks for the positive comments and vibes, I stuck my neck out a bit with the colour scheme as there isn't another (that I know of) but anyway decals and bike rack and such are all back on now and I'll update when I get a chance.
Thanks
Kev. :cool1:

Bit of an update ......



Interior is retrimmed, I'll post that up tomorrow. Still work in progress as far as suspension and wheels....



Cheap mechanics always handy too

Retrimmed blue interior, quite pleased with this as the material itself was incredibly cheap (Abakan) £16 we did curtains, cushions, too.

Hope that's not cheap labour!! But love the colour

No we did it ourselves thanks and we have loads of it left, if your ever considering new material that's the place to go

Could you provide more info on the material and a closeup maybe? I need to do my seat bases and backs and in exactly that colour oddly enough :dance:

This is where we get our material ...

Stores there are other stores. They sell hundreds of end rolls so you should find exactly what your looking for.
I think we paid £16 for around 9 mtrs. Blue, and off yellow. I've taken some closer pics and I'll post them up in a bit.

Sorry for poor quality of pics ...





Below is closer to the colour, dark blue.

Looks brilliant. £16 for 9 metres is amazing. I am guessing that is end of roll remant at that price?
I need to decide what to do with my seats (current just wrapped the foam in IKEA fleeces until make proper covers :lol-053: )

.....

This is the reason the colour caught my eye so much.
My front seats ...

Although I do see you saying real colour is darker (I would day my seats were a bit darker then my pic as well, thinking about it)

 

[KevDub]

Certainly look the part ... I like
