| The bus is still in the workshop, but here a few sneak previews of what's been going on.... Front end before: note the panel behind the bumper was left as primer by the previous owner.. quality!   After... lower panel sorted and grill colour coded...  Door shuts being painted.. also left as primer by the previous owner...  And the roof now being stripped ready for primer and new paint..  Oh... and remember these...??? Thanks to Lizzie @ Delilahs VW Interiors, they now look like this...  also being carried out is the following: New electric screenwash bottle New horn New rear brakes and handbrake cables And the inside of the cab doors have also been painted as one of those was left as primer too! | |

| Looking good mate!
I'm tempted to give my pop-top/roof a respray as it's starting to show some wear and tear.
Where are you getting the work done? | |

| I bought some runners to go in the bus.. I bought them 'just in case' but I'm pretty sure they'll have to be put in... That'll be the bus going straight back to the workshop very soon then!  | |

| Get a load of silica packets, wrap it all up in industrial cling film and squirrel it in the roof of the garage.
It's the right thing to do. | |

| is there a particular reason that isn't immediately obvious to me why you say to store it in the roof of my garage, and not in the loft in my house?
(I'm not sure I can even get the wardrobe in my loft mind you! ) | |
