Trim panels finished and fitted.

Slightly better than staring at the bare panels, just need to sort out the headlining where it meets the hinges now.

Just a couple of pics from a very cold VolksWorld Show.
0800 Saturday morning, Aaron, Pete B and Graham L.

Didn't take many inside the show for a couple of reasons;
a) that almost every magazine will have a multitude of pics of every car there, and
b) trailer queen restos don't interest me...

I have a thing about trekkers.

Credit to Mike Munns for this one.

Just a small update, I haven't progressed as much as I would've liked due to lack of work and money.
It was planned to have the stroker motor and gearbox in and running by now, but that's been shelved for at least a few months.
What I did do this weekend though, as unusually it wasn't raining or cold, was to retrieve the engine hatch from the depths of the garage, give it a T-Cut and polish and replace the rotten one.

Remember this?

I got a bit fed up of seeing the moisture reaction every time I walked past the bus, so after about 4 hours of hand cutting and polishing this was the result.

As it was such a nice day I took the sunroof off, gave it a clean, Helen repaired some of the stitching and then it got a coat of Fabsil.

New velcro strip on the roof and then back on.

Shame that it seems to have shrunk.....

:lol:

While the roof was off out came the T-Cut and polish for a bit of turd polishing.
After all I don't want to show up ozziedog's shiny new paint next weekend...
