    Is the tea included with the wheels? lol looking like they are doing a cracking job!!! Always nice when you expect a good job but turns out they are doing even more than you anticipated

    Well, Clive was ready for the weekender. Just

    He was rebuilt and just about polished and apparently Dave hadn't been home for two nights in an effort to get him in a state where he was ready for me to take down...



    Dave was about to run out of silver paint for the wheels, so mixed it with some leftover blue. Close up, it worked, but from a distance they were too blue. Shiny mind!!! And there were a couple of scratches here and there and a bit of orange peel effect in other places. So Dave told me to take it back after the weekender to finish off and repaint the wheels

    I've left a memory stick in the car for Dave and Sarah to put all the pictures of the rebuild onto

    Well it was just to get them painted so I could take it to the weekender. He's back in now for them to be redone in silver, as they originally would have been

    Ive not got Clive back yet; he is still in having the final touches put in place, but pictures of the full build can be found in this album. There are a few pictures of my hairdressing mobile and the Bavarian barge (Max and Bernard/Vin) but the rest of them are all about Clive and his rebuild

    Paint looks very good on there fella, also didnt realise they took the head etc off the engine aswell, should save you some maintainance for a while. Its gotta be nice having such a minter that has just been improved. Is it me though, or it the rear bumper sitting a tad saggy in the centre?

    Unfortunately, both the bumpers are sagging slightly

    Is that just an age thing then?? Could your friends not sort out a mount to hold it up a bit?

    It is an age thing. We are currently investigating ways of improving it
