Hi,

Ooops I probably should have introduced my self properly before posting my greetings. Any way here goes:
I'm Mette from Denmark just entered the new "twenties", I live in S?borg, Copenhagen DK with my boyfriend Thomas.
I have 2 VW's a 1303 LS from 1973 and a 113 Deluxe from 1954. I bought the cab in 2001 and picked up the Oval in Stockholm, Sweden last August.
The cab needs a full restoration with in the next couple of years - you can't see it on the surface, but if I want it live, which I does, I have to do it.
The Oval is in pretty good condition actually so I'm only doing minor things on it.
Lowering the front, putting on BRM rims, converting it to 12v etc.. just some customization - I'll show you when it's done (haven't started yet

-as long as I can get it out by May)

Ohh just noticed I have to upload my pictures to my own server, I'll show you some pictures of the cars when I get home from work.

Welcome Mette
Copenhaven... still one of the nicest places I have been to.

When does the weather warm up?? Been thinking of going for a weekend in April.

Thank you!
Well it's really hard to predict when it will start warming up and April is especially tricky, it can be anything from snowing and freezing to sunny and 25 degrees in April, I've tried it all.
How ever if you are thinking about coming in the end of April I would think we have reached at least 15-18 degrees.

Thanks
I will have to wait and see. Just got to Marseilles and dont know what our work schedule is or how long we will be here. Not too keen on going back to another cold place.
