I never realy found out for sure what the colour is. The (bad) paint job was done by the previous owner to the guy I bought the van from. He said he thought it was Matisse blue but I couldn't find a reference to that at the time. I did however see a lot daewoo matiz's with a very similar bright blue...

Hard to get at to get a better view with the wheel on, so some from inside aswell. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y466/timhamnett/P1010036_zps3ea8e812.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y466/timhamnett/P1010188_zps10edd9e3.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y466/timhamnett/P1010175_zp...

Got the mig off a friend who bought it new, that I used to do a lot of work with. He gave it me as part payment for some work I'd done when he upgraded to a Miller? that would take one mm wire for aluminium welding. He'd had it repaired(by Eland I think) when the transformer went. They put an uprate...

It will go up a little with a bit of work but I have a gap opening up the further down the rear seam I go. I can rework the panel a bit and open up the curve of the arch at the front to fill a bit of space but surely the bugger should be square where it needs to be. Its a schofiels panel from about ...

A little progress made inbetween neighbour episodes. Went out one morning to find large piece of cardboard with "Do NOT repair your vehicle outside my house or I'll call the cops"written on it in marker under the rear wiper. Left off further repairs untill things calmed down a bit. Neighbo...

Showing out of stock but worth a try.
Easy to forget they do panels.

Cheers for that comrades, will try to continue in a more coherant fashion shortly.

Sod it! I thought I'd sussed this photobucket thing. I'll try again later.

Hello all. I've not posted on here for quite some time (years) and had to re-register to get in. semi derelict house, three new children, dog etc etc have somewhat curtailed my van activities. Hence the sorry looking article in the pictures. Its been stood outside at home and on a local garage forec...

Hi Mike, I've not been around these parts for a while so sorry for going over old ground, but its got to the point where its last chance saloon time for my van which has been standing outside for the last few years. I'm tackling the rear archs and related panels first and want to use the original VW...
