I saw Mark at the weekend and he didn't mention any new purchase?

In fact we talked a bit about TonyC's oval and he said he'd considered it but now wasn't the right time to start another resto.

I, on the other hand, do have a Karmann Beetle for my next project - and what a mess it is too!! Late night ebay bidding is a problem of mine

Should be ready for VW action bud if you going to that I'll be there on the Sunday

Lodge the legend!
Foxon Park is a lovely bus

Can you go lower?

Graphics are great!

Sneak pic then Steve but not going to distract from your epic thread.

Sooty was apparently bidding against us for this and he got off lightly



Yes, that's my block paved drive you see thru the Fred Flintstone floor...





One thing I will say, beetle panels look to be a lot cheaper than split bus ones! (Thankfully)

Hoping to make a start around October time when I put the bus into winter storage and free up my garage.

Correct Nigel

I was chatting to tony about his Oval and it broke my hart to say NO as I just don't have the space or the time at the moment for another project

But never say never to a second Bus if the right one came along but will have to be RHD


Enjoy ya hols steve ....


Laters guys
