Very nice. Do you do all the body work yourself?

I've got a friend helping me, he builds hot rods for a living and also owns 2 beetles, a 1958 beetle and a rat rod beetle.
Doing this is a lot more work than I thought! So far its taking a month longer than planned and 2-3 weeks to go.

Thanks man!!

When is the next breakfast run?

We will hopefully spray this weekend, have to put the motor back and start putting everything together. Also still waiting for my white walls. This is my first time doing something like this and I spend more time looking for stuff I removed that fixing things. Now I know to put everything in bags and to mark them.

2-3 hour a day just doesn't seem like enough and seems like nothing gets done!

Still have to get an autolec to sort out the wiring and then get it on the road. But I'll drive it before then.

Know the feeling of looking for spares. Talk to dirk in Pta with the fleetline about wireing of the bus.

Dont know when the next breakfast run is. Kobus got a programme for the year.
