OCD1's new pad

G M Concrete

 Finally there all prepped, with GM Concrete  on site again, damp proof membrane and  reinforced mesh to hand.

Thankfully Nigel came back and helped us out loads.....A really good bloke!!!

 Jacob supported us loads digitally!!! No, really good help along with Elliot.

 All tamped down and must be about 8pm, starting to flag now. Finished in the dark around 11:30!!!!!

 De-shuttered and graveled two mornings later. Lisa and I have planted so many new plants the area is lawn seeded and ready to burst into life!!!

 I think the beetle is less level than the pad (thank god).

Starting to build up the hoops for the original and historic British Nissen Hut. It will be Huge!!!

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?

Hardcore!!

 First ten tons of 2"an down car-stone. Laid on top of all the old nissen hut rubble.

 Next ten tons.

 Max tries to level it!!!

 New turn around and flower beds.

New landscapes!!
