My on-going project

[Mindy76]

Hi its been a while since I've been in the dub scene, but looking forward to getting back into it.

Having the last 5 weeks off work has meant I have been able to get some planning done for my baby and got some enthusiasm back into sorting her out.

So presenting at the moment 'Rusty'

When we first got her a year ago (sept 2007).




After a day of having her:



Over the last few weeks she's been going to DG Motors to get her engine refreshed and an MOT


Unfortunately I'm putting her away for hibernation, but will be working on her interior over the winter and saving up to go to Johnson Autoworks (for her spray job)

[steve66!]

hey you were local to me...
i live just along and up the road from you.
or where you did live.
I remember seeing her being painted.
Hope all is well and if you need a hand.
let me know!

Yeah I ended up with the house so still there

[theanimalbus]

[Mindy76]

Thanks, hopefully in the spring I can bring her along looking abit better.

[steve66!]

Thanks Steve,
Yeah i am a teacher, had a nice relaxing 3 days back (and the kids seemed to be able to get back into the swing of things, not the usual not being use to being in school)

Rusty came out of hibernation about a 3 weeks ago.

With some help from Tricky T we emptied her, and with Dubdaze's contacts took her up to see Charlie.




Here's the latest, TJ went to see how she's doing and took these for me






She's already to be primer-ed before the weekend.
;D yey ;D

[Looby]

[steve66!]

[Mindy76]

I took the pics in for one of my LSAs and her son to see (beetle and campervan mad), and one of my yr 3s spotting him looking. So ended up having to show the class a before and during pics. One little girl said "Why has he made it look worse?"

[mizdizzy]

She's looking good, i bet your well proud of her. When do you think she'll be back.

I'm hoping she'll all be done in a couple of weeks so may have her back just before I start work again

Charlie only does official vw colours
so I chose vw sea green (L513) for the bottom and charlie's chosen Pearl white (L87) for the top and inside.

[Mindy76]

As its the easter hols for some of us

thought I would go and see how the camper is getting on.

When TJ and I got there she was back to white primer (again) and just about to have her inside sprayed white too ;D

This is how she looks now







All fingers crossed Charlie thinks she'll be ready by the end of next week.




May need to change her name from Rusty - to what ??
Answers on a postcard please
