Salvaged for Gary

Of interest to Gary I believe. When cleaning down darrens new/old arch I managed to retain a tidy outer edge of the upper tub. with an additional cut we can cover your seam weld and create a carpet tuckand the original look.

Builders bum or is it a bus bum or a gangster spray look????

Arch Rivals

Lucielle sees the light of day after a cold winter!
Nearly new original front wheel arch from Stanford Hall.....£80.
Four hours later, the base of an A pillar salvaged and ready to start offering up.
Zinc primered, trimmed and ready.Fits purfect!!! as you would only expect...its VW after all?

A pillar outer skin welded in and ground back....
Inner detail so tidy easy to seam seal.
Inner sills all painted and arch ready...welding on Monday night.

Front clip still needs fibre filler and regular filler plus some loweer welding but you get the picture, right?
Mr. Darren looked smiley all day long.....good things come to those who wait and all that!!! ;)

Fresh MOT!


Checked the bus over for it's MOT today, all bulbs working ok, wiper blades totally perished (don't buy Brazilian Jim!!) so replaced with Bosch 13" - £8 for a pair from GSF... everything else seemed fine so in it went, failed initially on a misaligned front lamp, just needed screwing back a touch, also two advisories on wheel bearings (drivers side front and rear) - must cut back on the donuts lol - happy days though all passed now for another year!!

Camping @ Breck Farm

We all went camping near Holt, and found a simple farm camp site. Pretty basic but cheap and big camp fires, camp where u want, woods type affair.
Lost in a sea of daisies.
Camp fires were esential as it was pretyy windy and cold, but no rain!!!!! :)
