Katy, Freshly rescued

New side panel clipped in place. We've decided to smooth the overall look out with de-seaming and less flutes. (this pic is before the arch has been cut out btw)

I started to strip the rear doors tonight and found under a layer of paint on the lower left on the nearside door a badge showing the name of the conversion company.

Oh yes we like the pics[8D]
Some great progress and a nice twist to the way you're fitting the new panels[^]
Richard Holdsworth was a well respected converter normally associated with VW's in the 70's, this must be one of his better ideas[8D]

Summer's here.....
Told you
 
Cheers Panky, I can't take the credit to be honest, Clark , my mate whos doing the work is the guy with the vision and skills, I just keep supplying the steel and cutting discs ;).
 
Looking good Scott. Personally i prefer the look of the Flutes, but in this case your man is doing a pro job of ironing them out;) this may catch on:p

Pia is responding well to her Botox Treatment!
 
Thanks for the comments guys, it's coming on well (the work will slow considerably when she comes back to me in a few weeks!) The colour scheme is a sore subject in our house i want to change to light blue and white, the wife wants to keep red and cream so watch this space!
Yeah scott I wasn't sure about losing the flutes but i'm happy now i can see how it's coming together.
More pics coming soon
 
Hi will, Yes it's coming along nicely, I should be getting her back by the end of may so I can get to grips with prepping the body for paint, a proper crash course for me, never done anything like this before :eek:.The pop top is off and ready to be sold, why, are you interested?
 
tempted, where are you located ? how much do you want for it ? and when do you want to get rid of it ?

7 months 'til I can drive Smurf!
 
Hi Will
I'm near Barnstaple north devon, i would like it gone asap to be honest and i am open to reasonable offers.
It does need some tlc e.g. new rubber and skylight and the canvas needs a damn good cleaning or renewing.
Let me know if your interested as I'll be putting it on e-bay sometime soon.
regards, scott.
 
not sure if I could work to your timescale if I had to collect it [V].

how much do you want for it ? Although I expect the costs of a courier would be a killer. [xx(]

Hi will, I would gladly store it for you but storage is at a premium at our house. I bought an auto sleeper top off Tim last december. The courier charged me £175 which was more than the roof but the round trip for me would of been around 550 miles! so i thought it was well worth it (where are you?) I was thinking offers around £100???

cheers, scott.
 
I'll see what quotes I can get on shiply before making a decision.

I am located in Hampshire between Southampton and Bournemouth.
