S3 Audi Recaro's in VW TYPE 2

New Recaro's for the bus. Cheers Gary and Ben for helping out grabbing them. Good run out in the buses regardless....despite my engine not running too great felt like I was in a Porsche on the way home....just need a bigger engine to suits the seats now  😆

BBQ time

Back to Basics

Very pleased as this is a good couple of grands worth of new gear. Descaled, wire brushed, acid washed, and all again, Chassis painted under and outside, then stone chip applied, Inside was 2K primer and VW gloss black. Now need some torsion seals covers and bearings to start building up the running gear. Still got loads to do on the body anyhow, but I like the idea that with the beetle you can start fine tuning the handling etc, before you've finished the body. Front beam is also nearly finished, but again need the obligatory new ball joints MEYLE style.

We camped last year and it was a great campsite and made a real weekend of it.

This year it falls on the May Bank Holiday weekend so camping is from Saturday afternoon until Monday afternoon. It also quite cheap to camp and includes the show price.

Camping booking has a closing deadline (and involves forms,SAE and payment by cheque) of 23rd April.

Camping Details and form here:

Almost There!

 All the little bloody details, like recoiling a door screw.
