Collected him (Walter) a couple of months ago, very happy with him. Hes a 2.0l Aircooled panel van. Spent his life delivering cakes and honey. :)

This will be a long term project for us, the plan is to have the inside done for camping next year, we'll see.

This is when we collected him...

Needs some tlc, so when we got him home we gave him a good wash.

Gave him a good service and changes the fuel pipes from front to back as well. Painted the wheels and got some new tyres where needed, eventually will get some new hub caps and some white walls.

Then started to uncover the original signwrigting

We have just collected him from OG Buswerks after having the body work welds I can't do done, and sailed through his mot too. 8)

Future plan, full interior build and kit out and 60 - 40 lowering. the outside will remain original with signwriting repaired and aged to match the original.

Whilst saving for the interior bits I started the rear window sticker collection.

Will keep you posted as we start to do the more interesting bits. :D
