Sorry , no time for a long description of work done but here are a few pics. Its back on all 4 wheels (stock ones this time) As you can see there is a bit of carnage in the way. 20 days until I leave and tons of work to be done. I will fill you all in on what I have done lately (and there was lots) when I have more of time. But for now here you go:

Im going to run the spare on the front for this trip for more room and the mount is already there. Polished up the OG paint front bumper too, CLR, a wet sand and tons of hand polishing.

A quick first clean, more to come

It's looking great Richard!
Hard to believe were starting our road trip in only 20 days!
For those who don't know were (Richard in his 69 and me in my 72) heading from Vancouver BC to Sacramento on the 26th then onto the VW Classic.
I think we'll have to start a thread for the trip!

Who's going to be at the Classic?

10 days and counting!

I just had a sneek peek at Richards bus yesterday, I gotta say it's one of the most rust free Bay's I've ever seen!

Mine just a few weeks ago as purchased, so much work to do and so little time!
