[lloydy]

Do i need that top bit replacing then?

[Plasticman]

yes with the one I have in the picky plus the mounting as shown
mm

[lloydy]

AH!

[lloydy]

this is the other rack it sits a bit lower i think which is not a bad thing


mm

it does, looks better for it too

[Plasticman]

Well cleaned these up to refit

i have taken templates so can now offer them in 1.5mm steel.
i questioned wether they do any good and can confirm that with them in place and the outer wing cut away i was suprised how mmuch rigidity they gave to the inner panel, i then removed them and it was just floppy,so yes they do stiffen it up considerably and no doubt vw in their wisdom thought so too

os flap refurbished and fitted

it is now very well mounted and secure

mix of fresh mushroom pasta and savoury mince pie (my local as the prop is italian and knows how to cook )

cooler back out to finalise stuff in here

flap fitted

note the bracket now fixes to the lug i added to the cowl

Si continued the theme by using very nice cap heads here

very minimal rubber coat added along the under siide edges so its not really seen

onwards we go

[Plasticman]

well busy day but little to show worth pickying, finished the internal panels and ran a bead of sika round and brushed it in
then a quick dab of blue

sorted
fitted the rear flap and plate carrier together with the foam

all slider seals and stuff fitted and done

mm

[Plasticman]

seals fitted to cab doors prior to rehanging,ive treated the inner front skin as it will do no harm

same on the A posts

mm

[lloydy]

Ah! Now I'm not viewing that on my phone, I can work out what it is!

[Plasticman]

Well you enjoy "hanging" around today
made the new one look like a new one even though it had to be repainted and treated

slight work needed on the hole placement eeeeelongations
but now fitted and looks really good , the rubber straking strip really suits

now when you start hooking up your caravan,try to get it right and not do the same to the new bumper,yes i know the rubber strip will help but......

shed damage
now there are the swan neck tow bars and there are these

the vw bumpers is for the former so i had to modify to fit,not a lot but enough to clear. so what should have been an hours work turned into 2. live and learn

getting there nicely

dream of hols, pepper and onion picked a minute ago along with toms and courgettes + fresh pasta,

but slumming it here still no site fees
