'Beryl' The 1957 RHD Ragtop Oval with suicide doors!

Wow, she looks pretty solid!

Nice work there Rich!
I'm really lookin forward to seeing this car take shape!

Very nice neat work. Looks like justice is getting served on this bug! Keep up the good work ...

All being well Beryl should be coming home today!!! I cant wait to get started on her! Id like to try and get her on the road for Plymfest, but knowing my luck she will still be sat there this time next year!!

I love to see old motors coming back together like that!! Great job

Beryl is now at home safely tucked up in the garage. A HUGE thankyou to Griff and his brother for bringing her back! Heres a few pics of her jpurney home courtesy of Rich.









I think Rick and Griff may have a couple of pics of us getting her on the truck, put it this way im glad she aint low!

i only got a couple of pictures i think rick got a few more.

Also a big Thanks to Rick fro donating some fab ratty bumpers and carl for donating the carpet!!

Thats cool glad to be of use

Well we spent most of the day out fiddling with beryl but we kind of took one step forward and two back if you know what I mean!!

Started out by sorting the Ragtop and getting it to run smoothly. It all works ok now just need a bit of glue to attach the vinyl to the bones.








Then we decided to try and fit the foot pedals. Doing this we managed to split the brake pipe so with the help of carl (thanks for the pipe hun) Gav managed to fit a new pipe. Took the petrol tank out in the process so thought i'd take a piccie.



We decided to remove the fabric from the door panels and whack them in the washing machine, they came out ok and look loads better.




Finally heres some pics of the interior, Rick and Rich placed it in her before we picked her up yesterday, the back seats look quite good I reckon.



And her smoothed dash, not to my taste but hey you cant have it all!!!




Thats about it for today!!

Nope Gavs decided to get the tool from work rather than spen hours trying to struggle to do it. We did fit the other gear stick but i didntlike it so took it back out!

Griff's pooch getting the feck out of the way in case he gets sucked under the number plate


Play that funky music white boy .... Griff looks like he's about to start break dancing! (If you're too young to remember it ... ask your Dad)


Here you Tan/Gav .... The pics I took while she was being loaded onto the flat bed
If I'm successful, I should have some video footage uploaded as well, but it's taking an age to do ... so don't hold your breath

Thanks Rick great pics, Looking forward to hearing the 'crunch' on the video!!!!

There was a bit of crunching and scraping noises as she went up . I must admit she did loose her number plate on the way back down and the blokes had to lift her to help her off!!
