| Fuck me, that was 'restored' late 80's/early 90's then!!  It seems the standard of work people put into restos these days are of an infinately higher expectation. Glad to see you are saving a Big though bud, I reckon 'Fat Chicks' are the next Big Thing. Old School Cal Looks are cool, I quite like late model proper Lookers.... | |

| My new storage area [im  g] At first the frame head didnt look to bad [/i  mg] then we too k off the beam.gearbox ect [i  mg] We had to cut out this bit it looked like it needed investigating [/i  mg] to discover [im  g] [/i  mg] So i off to get some new bits.well actualy lots of new bits. i have a massive pile of work carried out by the last 2 previous owners.carried out by so called vw profesionals in Poole dorset.all i can say is if that is the standard of work people pays hundreds for.then im in the wrong game. |

| Mot was carried out by Pottery Services in Parkstone the year before and again this year...this bug should have been condemd.(sorry i cant spell.)
Still never mind i suppose you should expect the worst with a bug.then things can only get better.and there cant be any more suprises as weve stripped the guts out of him now.all ready for a good wire wheeling.inside and out.will start work on the chassis over the next weekend.and im trying to get next week out of work.to give us a headstart. |
