Thanks. It`s called Kaiflex, it`s a closed cell structure with in-built water vapour barrier. Work`s out pretty good.

Will you need to remove the light bar for TüV?

No, that`s one of the regulations that`s pretty user friendly. If there is an extra switch to control it it is considered a work light and doesn`t need any approvement. Of course there will be another switch that ties it into the highbeams but i won`t tell them about it. :ylsmoke:
Pretty self explaining that you`re not allowed to use it while on a public road (of course i don`t care about that).

Great to see progress and loving the panda 4x4. All the UK ones have rusted to nothing now, it's nice to see one in such good condition. I've always fancied buying a rotten one and turning into off road toy.

It just looks good in that picture. We had to weld in a ****load of sheetmetal in order to pass inspection. But that`s great, i earn my money this way.
Well, today didn`t exactly go as planned. Got a call that there was water coming out of my shop. Turned out a water pipe on the ceiling busted.
The water level was at about 2" when i arrived.
