Last week update...



Ben's been sorting some of the old repairs to some front end damage on Martin's '55... and brought his bus up to snap next to the late bay we've just finished....



Ant's been getting some shape back into the front panel of Mike and Glenda's bay with the faithful Unispotter stud welder and puller.

While Jef has been cleaning up and prepping the inside... as you can see this bus is A1!

Also now in is Tim's Arizona 71 deluxe. With a new gen. VW block awaiting installation, a tasteful lowering and getting this cool cruiser back on the road, Tim'll be cruising down to see his relatives in Portugal before long. Thanks to Tim's sister Judy for all her help in our search for the shop Brasilia! 

And speaking of the infamous autostyl brasilia.... here's a sneaky pic of how it looked end of last week...

Till next update, take it easy....

Orange Monday!



Monday seemed to pan out to be a bit of an orange day! Jef has ploughed into the strip down of Mike and Glenda's Bay Westy which is going to be an awesome bus when done, the base vehicle is just so solid to start with!

Also, the shop Brasilia saw some action late into the night... lowering the back end... still plenty of inches to get it down further yet - might take some thinking....

Engine day...





Bit of an engine day today - got this Porsche 3 litre to sit up in Dexter's '63 split, not that straight forward with the Auto gearbox on the front - took some 'clearanceing'!!!! Meanwhile, Evil Ben got 'Cocoa's' engine back in and up and running!
