Optimus Primer....

Well, busy just doesn't really describe it... on top of all the pressures that this 'festive' time brings, we really wanted to get Mike and Glendas bus primed this week, but with some corrosion revealed when we sandblast some areas at the beginning of the week, it was set to be a challenge.....



But with a few late ones - Ant shot the House of Kolor epoxy primer surfacer this weekend. Whilst designed as the base for their range of custom paints, we use this primer as the base for all our paintwork. Its a dream to use, and offers great durability, stability and corrosion resistance to boot.







A few other goings on this week include - Evil Ben gettin some rear quarter repairs on Martin's '55 Cab, and also trial fitting the new slightly narrower engine side trays..





The late night brasilia elves had some fun with the rear end this week - got us some Fuchs up in there - big'uns!

d-luxe....

This week, so far we've got the disaster bus finished off, Ant shot the paint this weekend, and its come up great - right colour and everything!! Sometimes he has the odd isocyanate moment and paints everything black, so we were a bit worried....



Ben's been finishing the front valance work to the '55, and then been fitting the bonnet release tube and wiring clips etc inside the front...



meanwhile, we've also had Tim's '71 d-lux in to fit our early bay - late brake upgrade kit... available now!!!





....the late night brasilia elves have been busy too, fitting up the king and link pin beam with dropped spindles to work out just how narrow to go....




We now offer a beetle King and Link pin recon/rebuild service, rebuilding with dropped or stock spindles, all with new bushes and pins throughout. We can supply full bolt on narrowed beams etc. or you can just mail us your carriers and spindles and we'll rebuild them and send them back to you. All beams built to order to your spec. Please contact us with your requirements.....
