I haven’t been updating the blog lately because i haven’t been doing a lot of work in the garage lately. Work has been busy and the family has been a bit under the weather so between one thing and another the garage stuff has been put on the long finger BUT i want to start getting stuff done again.

I’m putting this todo list here as much for myself as anyone else, it nice to see these things in black and white, if might give me the kick i need. Right now I want to start work on the beach buggy BUT i have a few other things to do first.

Blue 72 Beetle:

Sort out the interior, fit rear door cards, install parcel shelf and speakers and fix carpet.

I would also like to do the body work on this but we might have to sell it on so i might sell her as is.

Fit heat exchangers

Red 70 Beetle:

This is away getting the bit of bodywork done, when it comes back it needs a new steering box and front shocks, then it will be sold. We have someone interested in her.

71 Bay westy:

Unfortunately this will have to go to make room for the new camper (more on that later)

Rewire front indicators

Order new door rubbers all round & fit

Clean the interior

Recover the seats and door cards

Sell!

New Camper – Hymer B694:

I’ll put pics of this up soon, I want to finish cleaning it before I start showing it off. As usual, the father and myself bought this together.

She needs a big spring clean and all the appliances need a service, fridge, hot water heater, night heater etc etc

I want to have her ready to use so we can go on short notice.

So that’s what has to be done before I get back to the beach buggy, none of them are big jobs BUT because I’m not getting much time in the garage they seem to be taking forever. I’m hoping to finish cleaning the Hymer over the weekend and maybe start servicing some of the bits in her with the help of a buddy Tristan who works with campers for a living.
