Update on the split

Today we pulled the engine out to give it a good cleaning job.

Fuelpump was leaking, so I overhauled it and it's now almost as good as it left the factory ;)

Romy started to tear the engine apart, so I can split the case this weekend, and Romy can start sanding and painting the sheet metal.

More soon!

Westfalia

Serges T2b needed MOT and some minor welding, so I helped him out today to fix his axle and get the bus in perfect condition.

Everything went well, and his car has a new MOT for two years!

If you want to see more from his nice rides, check out www.trouwbusje.nl :D

of to the paintshop!

Finally, after a long long time..............the oval is getting his paintjob.

It will take a month, so in that time we will start on the split :)

Romy picked up some parts at Nico Kennis yesterday, thnx for that!

I will drop by at the paintshop now and then, so I will post new pictures as soon as there are updates!

'52 stripdown

Progress on the split!

Romy is stripping the split, so we can start next week with some minor repairs we want to fix before the season.

Front will stay like it is, but the rear has some old bondo repairs that needs some attention.

Engine will be pulled out next monday, and the camber really needs some adjustment :)

Wheels for the New Beetle

The ABT wheels are ON!

Couldn't resist to testfit the GeeBee's, but those wheels are wayy to small for this car......

It's looks cool imho!

It's time they gonna make some in 17" :D

145.000 visitors, thnx!

Ninove, the early bay Bonanza!

Today we cruised with Serge to Ninove for the special early bay edition!
The cruise to the show was great, I think we drove fom Hazeldonk with 60+ cars :D
The show was perfect, no rain all day.....except for our ride home.
Check out the 150+ pictures I took today overhere
And here are some teasers as usual ;)

polishing Finny

Because my oval has to be ready for the painter before the 20th of march, I don't have much time to work on the split.

So Romy started polishing the original crown profiled trim, and it's turning out beautiful!
The windows didn't open when we bought it, so I had a quick look at it tonight and the mechanisms are working for now.........now we can see the original split windows!

And a major "oilleak" was found after we came back from our holiday............problem: the fuelpump is leaking fuel into the enginecase and the oil runs out like water!

We allready had the intension to get the engine out and give it a good overhaul, so that will be fixed next month.

Parts are on its way from Brezelwerks, wolfparts, keverland and collectors in Holland, so when we have the things we need, we can get some work done!

More pictures on the split page :)

Museum of Kaprun

One morning we went to the Museum of Kaprun.

A very small museum, stacked with cars......crazy!!
Hihlights were the ragtop zwitter, '42 kubelwagen, and 3 porsche 356's
But also some old Mercedes, A-ford, and other exotics where on display.
Here are a few shots from our visit:

Austria!

We just came back from an awesome snowtrip to Austria!

3 days with sun, 2 days with snow and 1 day a snowblizzard..........OKAY!

We had so much fun :)

Down in the village it was cloudy, but as soon as you stepped in the lift to the top of the mountain, at 2200m. the sun was shining!

Check out some pics we made:
