Would love to try one of these.

[Juju]

Bean - exactly how many projects do you need??!!!

Are any of them going to get finished?!

(are you just easily distracted?! )


Good luck with this. You're a much braver woman than I. I wouldn't touch anything in that state!

I hope one day it is sooper-spangley & you camp the living daylights out of it.

Yea I was gonna say. I struggle to keep up with all these projects lol. Theirs Reggie, the van. The little blue KFC mini and this. Any I'v missed?

I'm like a magpie, but for rust!

Juju - We are easily distracted, lol - But when you see things that you just can't refuse, then why not?


Well, there's Reggie, Frankie (the van), Nora (the KFC one), Ronnie (The 25)

Then there's a few more dotted around that belong to Kris!


And then there's the house rebuilt!

Damn you for starting this thread!! I've now spent the last three days trawling through Ebay adds at rotten 40 year old german rust buses!! I probably ought to get my welder out of its box and learn to use it first though!!

[Bean]

Lol, tell me about it! I kept looking at them too ... Just dreaming! Then K found this one... That night we went down to Bristol... A few glasses of champers later, we'd bought it, lol.


Well, after reading a very inspirational thread on VZi, I have a plan for tomorrow.... You'll have to wait and see, lol.

As I have said before, very nice.

Now that is what I call a project !!!

Good luck and lots of pics.

One good thing about living in Malvern, is that you have British Volkswagen Festival and Vanfest on your doorstep!

The bad thing about living in Malvern is that you can easily nip home and make a list of where your VW is rusty and what you need to buy ...

So - a couple of hours later ... we had a list


A couple of hours after that, we had very, very light pockets!





So, today, we bought:



1 x N/S Complete Dogleg Arch
1 x O/S Floorpan Half
1 x Inner Front Apron
1 x Outer Front Apron
1 x Lower Nose Repair
1 x Inner Sill (Long)
1 x B Post Repair
2 x Cargo Floor Halves
1 x Box section for the rear of the cargo floor
1 x Outer Sill
1 x Engine Hatch (From a Bay)


(The rest of the pictured bits have been collected by K on his wanderings )


Also on order are:

A full side panel:




A few window repairs:




And some belly pans:






K has also invested in some ... not quite so essential items!
