So, the bus went down to Nick's place for some tlc before the MOT.
Front nearside outrigger and jacking point replacement to be more accurate.






While it was up on the ramp I noticed a little dent in the pedal pan.....





:lol:

Back down the yard today. Pedal pan fettling, caster adjustment and a bit of chassis cleanup..

Pedal pan was slightly out of shape.






After a session with a 2lb lump hammer, a piece of 6" x 2" and a bench vice.






That's better.




Caster angle tweaked by adjusting the beam.




Then back home to refit the interior, again.

Dubs at the Castle.
All set up on Friday.




Part of the lineup in the Castle grounds on Saturday.



And the full thing.




Nice 924 turbo on the grass opposite.

So this afternoon I said goodbye to the temporary curtains that have been in the bus for 6 years. :lol:
Nice new ones from VW Camper Curtains.










And then I decided to have a look at the damage caused by a heavy handed mate winding the window down.
"Cor, that's a bit stiff" he said, continuing to heave at the window winder.... :roll:

Glass has come out of the lifter, so no big deal I'm thinking.



Gave it a bit of a clean up before reassembly.



Oh dear, looks like I'm on the hunt for a decent lifter now then.
Anyway, while it was all stripped, gave the door innards a clean and then a liberal dose of cavity wax.




After a pair of internal door escutcheons as well. Can only find Karmann Ghia ones at the moment, might have to try one to see if they fit.
