    Ive had a thourley enjoybull busy week

    Ive sorted my Borders planted plenty of bulbs and flowers cleand out a cuby hole to create a small Grow starter room bought a LED Starter light Ive got Millions of seeds still off Penny LongK & Me Brother from another Mother Ziggy :thumbsup: Sincerly Thank yoo All

    Ive Preped the ground where i am going to build the seated Arbor got hold of a jack hammer to brake out old footing its about 3 n half foot in the ground :yikes:

    Got some lads comming to help Me bless Em

    Ive also been busy with my other Passition old cars ive striped and Rebuilt a old well 1980s VW Caddy MK1 Pick up ive also got a 1963 split screen camper Im a True Dub Nut @ Hart these things Do Run Away with ya Tho bit like the Garden it Wont Cost a Lot :phew: My Famous last words You Know wot ime saying me £600 pick up Now stands me £3000

    jobs Ive Done All New brakes Front and back inc Discs Pads Lines ect
    Flipped the Rear Axel this is where you take the Axel off cut off the hangers turn it up side down re weld the hangers wonce re done shot blast and re paint the whole axel remove the leaf springs shot blast and paint them All Brand new Susspenstion Shocks Front and back the Front am Coil overs so Adjustabull

    chrome grill line these are rair as hens teath they was fitted on GTIs mk1s

    New Re/Con Re/Built Engine and Gear box also Painted when Removed uprated Turbo with Adjustabull Boost pin full intercooler piped in with cilcon hoses
    3 clock pop in the dash with boost gauge rev counter & amp meter momo steering wheel gti seats the only thing left to do is repair the tail gate

    i can NOT Warrent buying a Mint one they fetch up to £700 :yikes: I Have bought a Slightley Damaged one for £100 but that was bair with No fitting so have re fitted all my fitting of my rotten one on to this one

    painted the bed in gravetex Rubber paint to help Protect it!!! Then to help protect it further ive had a Bed cover made Just started to re carpet it but have got another Idea :lunapic 130165696578242 5: Ive spoke to the MOT Man and told him i would like to put a Bench seat in it insted of the 2 seats ive put in he explaind if i do that and add a 3rd seat belt the law and taxation class change

    if i fit a bench seat with only 2 seat belts thats sound for a standard MOT

    Funny Aint it the old law of the land My 1963 because its Pree 65 does not have Any Seat belts yet if you Add them the law states You have Got to wear them

    Jesus is my Air Bag :snork: No Seat belts going in there

    The only reason i would like a bench seat is one passanger and get my dog in at the same time :doggieshmooze:

    Now the sad bit i can not up load photos at the minute ive had a new fire wall and securaty added to my pc and havent sussed it out yet but will up load pics when i can

    My little Garedening truck cost me a Tad more then i Antisepated

    Oh well looks tidy now to go down the Tip with my Branches and Grass cuttings still a bit to do door rubbers n bits like that but its motd taxed and insured Now so well chuffed at my efforts

        You've been a busy boy! I'm really looking forward to the photos when you figure it out mate :)

        One thing to bear in mind - even although you have spent more than you anticipated, you have had all the hobby time actually doing the work, and at the end of it you not only have a vehicle that will last you for years (and you know what condition its in, as you rebuilt it), but you also have a vehicle that is uniquely yours - nobody else will have one like it!

          Where's the time for the garden Nick :hate-shocked:
          There's a VW camper van that goes up and down our road all the time, like you he's spent loads of time and money on and it looks a picture. It's half white and a deep purple with lowered suspension and a cracking set of alloys on it.
          As FC says its a hobby with a great end result (nothing that's enjoyable is free)
          You'll have to put some pics up
