nearly there

[thejinx]

After 5 years, i just watched my van have its roof sprayed. I am not someone who is emotional but i was like a 10 year old at xmas. Another week and its ready to put back together. I have four mates to help me out with the construction. I have never owned one of these before i have ploughed more money than i ever thought into the resto, rebuilt my own engine, under supervision :shock:. I hope that my dream of VW ownership is as good in reality as it is in my head.

On the first trip out i am going to have Highway to Hell smashing out of the speakers as i rock along at 30 mile an hour

Cheers, it's taken five years as I have had to save before carrying out work. Then save again and again and again. I remember saying to the long haired general that we would buy it sort it and have it on the road in 6 months. 5 years later we are nearly there. I have a garage full of bits ready to fit and probably a garage more of bits to buy. Hope it lives up to my expectations as if I have to sell I will never get my dosh back

Good luck with the rebuild, don't scratch it!
Cheers Paul.

Exactly same boat......have to do as much as possible ourselves and be saving up for the next bits/parts/paint whilst doing so. Learning as going along by asking lots of questions and doing lots of research.

Having done a 7 year restoration on another make of car I can tell you the BUZZ you get the first time out on a nice day is fantastic. It will be worth it.
