Start your engines...

So this week, Tim's engun got started. Tim spends a lot of time in Portugal, the home of our Brasilia, so has gone for a new VW unit to provide reliable transport there and back. Ben got it all fired up - sounding smoooooth...



After wet flatting off the shuts and shadow coat of colour on Mike and Glenda's westy, Ant shot the final coats this week too, looking sweet... flating and polishing this week to really glass it up!





Then after hours the Brasilia got all fab work finished - about bloody time, as the clock is ticking - Volksworld show in 28days!!!!



28 days....gotta get back on it....
