I think the last time he saw it was when I took it from his place after he gave me a hand with the welding lol

Congrats Spence on a top ten at Castle Retro Show on your first trip out!
Nice to meet you as well.
 
Thought I'd just put a few up-dated pics up.........

The alternator pulley decided to rip it'self apart after only 350 miles :evil:

Which in turn put a big groove in the alternator :evil:

I found an old original cast pulley buried in the depths of the garage, so fitted that and all is well with the world again - I've had to shim it out a bit though.....

I've also ditched the Bugpack Mondo exhaust system as the noise in the van was just too much of a drone. I've now fitted a stock Bug exhaust with modified late Bay tail pipes. It's much nicer in the bus now and has actually gained a bit of power!

I've also fitted slightly bigger tyres on the back which has really improved the gearing for motorway cruising. Anyway's here's a pic a friend took at a local classic car show a few weeks back. I'm still smiling about my Best In Show win at Dubs At The Castle too :D

Also found in the garage and fitted this NOS reverse light bought by my late Grandfather in the late 60's/early 70's - I think he'd approve :D

Also over the weekend, I took the bus out for a spin - It would have been rude not to take a few pics :)
