Bodymovin'

A mere 18 months after this...


...and it was time to reunite the body with its floorpan. The floorpan had been at Deano's VWs being fitted out. Dean trailered it back to Mat & Sal's and we were bribed by the promise of coffee and chilli to lend a hand.

Floorpan now fitted with suspension, brakes, transmission & steering

The Lo 'E' Nuf way

After a while of careful checking, drinking coffee, lining up, drinking coffee, removing obstacles and drinking coffee it was time for the lift. Easier said than done, some idiot had put a floorpan in the way, but with some long bolts to help line everything up eventually the body and floor were together again. A couple of reluctant bolts will be sorted back at Dean's workshop.
Lift, shuffle, shuffle, pause...

Nearly there

Down, bolted up and ready to go

The lifting crew

Ready for the trip back to Deano's VWs for re-assembly

Stickers


Alex the Sticker King is going to be ordering another batch of club stickers to be ready for VW Action.

Prices are to be confirmed, depending of numbers etc, but should be no more than £10 for large and £8 for small for the standard chrome effect exterior sticker. If you want to be a fussy sod and want a different colour/size/inside sticker the price may be higher.

Lo 'E' Nuf on tour

(click on the pics for larger versions)
 
 
A small group of Nuffers trekked down to Somerset for the Glastonbury Festival. Although the festival doesn't kick off proper til the Thursday evening the gates are open from Tuesday afternoon and it's first come first served in the campsite. We got there on Tuesday night giving us a couple of days to set up, mooch about and get the vibe.

Shock! Horror! A VW Camper being used for camping!

The mass of brave souls who spend the week in a tent have to lug a week's supply of essentials from the car parks into the the main festival site.
There is a continual tide of people carrying/dragging bags, boxes, trollies...

There was the usual emergency repairs before we could leave...


Our departure was delayed by the news a 4yr old child had gone missing. The gates were closed, vehicles were checked before being let out and a massive search took place over the whole site with assistance from the Police helicopter. The child was eventually found, curled up asleep in a box a few feet away from its parent's trade stall. Good thing they searched thoroughly before raising the alarm.

Remember - keep your children on a lead!

Next show is VW Action at Santa Pod
