Yeah getting a bit out of control, gotta sell something or build a bigger garage..... still I have been looking at these for ages so bit the bullet.
It’s on a link pin beetle pan which is pretty crusty, first task to get it off the pan this weekend and look for a ball joint beetle pan in better nick. Pics to follow

Now sitting on an irs pan with ball joint front end.
Have replaced most of the lhs and the front panel so far, good practice for me learning to weld and now redoing some of the earlier welds I did.
Lots of grinding for this weekend and windscreen mounts

KO418 is all finished, registered a week before Valla and made the drive up north on the friday.
Need to sort out a better exhaust as the VW Thing one I used is too restrictive for the 1776cc motor but otherwise all good.
Unsure of what to do as have been offered another Kombi (Dual Cab) but have to sell something so likely the Country Buggy will go...
Few pics for you

Mate seems a shame to sell that ripper country buggy, I think you should slip me the info on the dual cab an enjoy that country buggy, summer is coming up!. Ian
