Concrete Base

 Shuttering in, some removed to allow the truck to reverse in.
 I've gone for a similar VW pattern of 1 & 3, then 2 & 4 to ensure access to all.
So tamped, see-sawed and then floated. Next load this Friday!!! That  is 12 cubic meters of concrete!!!

A Type 25 For Sam??

 Sam found this good example with an air cooled 2ltr lump. It got a webber progressive 32/36 carb.

 Classic corrosion points are solid, inner and outer sills, front and rear wheel arches, jacking points, cab and cargo floors.
The worst of the rust is in the two front steps, the other lesser areas are the lower front clip,  lower cab door  inners and two sliding door inners.
Well all this for £1500 ..................Sam and Julia have some serious pondering and gambling to discuss!!!
Will they do it?

Nissen Hut Werk

 An old picture off the last workers and the general chaos left at RAF Wreatham.
 Start of the day my mini digger arrives.
 Pulling up tree roots, and starting to break up the two old Nissen Hut basses.
 Man this starting to look messy.
 More WWII foundations like tank defenses to get through!!
 I think its level to the eye but hard to say to such an uneven patch.
 Fantastic space.
 Borrowed this and could not believe how close we got. An inch high in the center and no more than quarter of an inch from corner to corner. Thanks to everyone that helped.
Showing the levels.
New landscapes as well!!!

Found 1303S....Jacob??

 How strange it belongs to the guy I bought my Kombi off of!!!
 Look at the different curves.
I am not sure about how this screen joins the lower???

Beetle Werk

 Repaired damage to door after an incident at a drive through when collecting the Nissen Hut.
 While I had the paint I sprayed up a new rear wing to trial the green thing.
 No time on prep just better than the covering it already had.

Split Werk

 This picture was taken a while ago but caught my eye.
 If she were mine..........white roof and you know the rest!!!
 OMG.
 Just keep cutting, cutting, cutting ,cutting!
Repair to inner side of creased rear wheel arch.

Hey folks, I'd like to introduce you all to Edna the T25. A new edition to the OCD crew.
She has a lovely recon VEGE diesel engine and a pretty unspoilt devon conversion. Hopefully will be bringing her to snorefolk soon providing she doesn't break down on the way :)

The paint creeps slowly backward...time ebbs away...

VW Adverts

Found some nice VW Adverts online. Planning on printing some out for posters in frames to hang on the walls. Love the one stating "Do you have the right kind of wife for it?"
