i can tell you the back bows look similar to the very front one but the ends on the front just droop strait down into a plastic bit but the rest droop down then bent out to the side like these sandman ones below

thanks mate, keep the pic's coming, i like your rear door cards,
from what i can see you haven't got the side metal plates to hold the sides of the trims, or did you take them of

This van was going to be spares panels for my mk1 van but since got better plans for it. The metal plates weren't on it and I asked Glen sundowner how it was finished off.
The rear arch bit will be copied to fglass if Enuff people want one. I am also removing the hood lining for a template to get new linings done,Not sure on price as yet tho.

ill be interested in the rear arch panel over the rear doors, i think jaycees may be interested but you would have to ask him, he is on here and ebay as well, he has a nice green sundowner that i would love to get my hands on PS, I've also just spotted you have a after market roof lining as there's no air vent hole or the metal rectangle grille for the air vent, hope your rod holes measurements are factory, if not, it might be no use for me

All I can do is measure the rod spacings and have them compare with an orig one. I know the roof vent is deleted on this one, so why leave a ugly hole there! when I peel it off I'll know if genuine(copy) from where the rods locate. .. pressed not drilled etc.
Once I've made the mould and 1st off trial part I'll start a new post .
Cheers for the heads up !

Short update... The rear arch garnish trim piece isn't worth me copying to fglass as anyone can make the piece from panel board and glue fabric on it which is what this is.
I've still not got to check the holes spacings as been busy painting my mk1 van.

I got word my local trimmer is not So booked out so I've FINALLY removed the hood lining and measured the spacings in the rear compartment. so from the middle roof support rail there is one rod that's 38cm forward of Centre. And the last rod is 39cm from Centre. I can put a pic of the rods in sequence if needed.

"as anyone can make the piece from panel board and glue fabric on it which is what this is."
The original Ford garnish above the rear doors was just cardboard/panel board with the moon crater material glued on with contact adhesive.
