Cheers all!
So as this is a skilled part, i'm working for Jez doing work on Bays and bits and bats while Jez is doing an amazing job on the Samba.
The bus wont be 100% straight to concours as we just dont have the time (wedding in 3 weeks!!!!!!
) but he's doing his magic and things are looking good....
My new plates arrived today also....
I'm off to France now so the bus will hopefully be painted when I get back!

Looking mighty sweet Jake.
It's about now that all that effort comes together and you can see a glimmer of light at the end of the big long black tunnel. Been there - as most guys on here have too
Keep chipping away fella

So hours have been passing..... and the 19 hour days have been taxing! 8am-3am! Sleeping on the sofa at Dubtricks!
Engine in (not running)
Electrics in (90% done)
Upholstry in (60%)
Wheels, running gear etc.... Complete.
Paint flatted now but needs serious buffing.
50% windows in. Will all be in by Sunday.
Tailgate, cab doors, cargo doors and engine lid need few more primers and sands to make good then paint.
Alot of bits to fit like seat belts, locks, handles etc.....
At station Fri sat days and Sun Mon nights so Dubtricks so Sunday-Finish away from home.
FIRST WEDDING A WEEK ON SAT.... 9 DAYS!
Few pics....
