[Dolly Daydream]

Don't worry we'll sort it for you one way or another.

 

[Kombirod]

Started to weld in another new panel courtesy of A.H. Schofields, its not a bad fit

 

[BILLYBOB]

Rather excellent thread, makes you slightly wonder about sticking your legs out front though!! Is there any more progress on poor old poe?

Took a visit today to JustDubz Workshop whilst I was working in the Bedfordshire area.
Old Poe was sat there in the corner looking a lot better than last time I saw her which was back in March time, all the front panels were welded on, a genuine VW floor cut out off an early bay was to be tidied up & welded in then the dash & windscreen trial fitment then all to be taken out again along with all the other windows & a full bare metal respray.
Mike & Russ spent a fair amount of time with me as I turned up unexpected, I really appreciate the work these two guys are doing.
A few pictures, the old A pillar

The Vw floor to be tidied up & welded in

Bracing bars removed & everything has stayed inline (refer to earlier pictures for brace)

 

[Ands1]

Dashboard has a couple of kinks to be straightened out then in she goes

Nice & straight, what dya think :?: :lol:

Front bumper on for trial fitting.

 

[Ands1]

Soon to be rubbed down, can't wait for a new VW badge on there :lol:

Bumper has a perfect line right the way around the front.

Looks like I won't make the Earlybay surf campout
Russ seems confident she'll be ready for Cornwall holidays the end of July, fingers crossed

Lookin' good, one weld at a time!

 

[dubscum]

so glad you saved it, to many people are so quite to write things off (not just cars) these days

 

[camperman3617865]

we straightened out the dash today, and cor blimey it fitted straight in, It looks like it all stayed straight after we removed all the bracings

Now we can replace the brackets that support the front of the dash on the inner front panel under the windscreen

 

[Camperdan]

Nice work..... so glad you saved it!

All gaps and panel joins etc look factory... and not a flip flop to be seen anywhere... lovely jubbly!

 

[Jim Drake]

looking good mate,i've got to ask how's the flip flop coming along.

 

[camperman3617865]

we have just finished welding in the complete cab floor...not a job i would wish on anybody.

Pictures to follow shortly
