[annavr6@vwheritage]

Well after an epic journey finishing at 4am the van has now gonw for welding. After this i should be able to drive it home





Finished painting the inside





Bought rear arches too. Going to be brand new after

And started on the interior with my new carpet

[annavr6@vwheritage]

Loads of updates happening not many pics!!

As i dont have the van at the moment its hard for me to get pics although i was there this weekend to grab some

One side is nearly finished but waiting on rear trailing arm mounts to arrive from Germany.

Also been working covering the rest of the interior adn started on the curtains.

Thanks. Yeah the plan was to make fairly quick progress as ive got a week off work in September.

I suppose also someone else doing the welding you can only go at their speed but they are keen to finish.

My classic parts holding me up are the rear trailing arm mounts but the delivery is supposed to ship from classic parts to heritage tomorrow

Got the day off tomorrow to go vinly shopping to finisht he itnerior.

I think it helps seeing different vans come intlo heritage each day as you get to look round them and it keeps me inspired

new arch

[Plasticman]

nowt wrong with skinny welders, you can get into spaces easier,and at 21 hes loads of years ahead to get fully learnt.
theres a few folk doing the os sill at the moment ,(unfortunately im not one) have you got any further than the picky with it tacked to the rotten B post as this reconstruction would be usefull .
otherwise good work there to your man doing it, what you youself do at heritage

Hi

Yeah he is young and very enthusiastic so all good. My mounts for the rear trailing arms have also now shipped from classic parts!!!!

Unfortunately i dont have anymore pictuers as i only had the ones they had taken as they are in Hoddesdon adn i am in Sussex so i could only grab the after pics when i went ot visit the van

I'll ask them to document fuirther with more pics when they do the other side for you if you want.

At Heritage i do parts
