What did you do to your VW today?

Had Voyager Dinitroled.

That should keep the rust out. Did you have it done at one of the Ultimate centres?

Washed him!!

Drove to JK open day and had a good time; not as chilled as camping the weekend*, but nice.

(*funnily enough, as we were leaving, we were offered a camping ticket for tonight, but as we were already committed elsewhere, we passed it on to someone else who had wanted to camp and wasn't able originally, as they were all booked up).

P.

So after a great deal of planning and thought, I fitted roof bars, i used Kitemans plan from kombi Kreative using the thule fitting kits and aero bars, rather pleased with myself.

Looking good

Ready for those surf boards now!  

Great job. What are you looking to carry on those?

The main things will be surf boards and my fishing rods, wife reckons they make the van smell when I carry them inside.
Have just picked up a bundle of 2 x 2 baton 3.5m long, went up on the bars a treat!

BraziBays make great fishing vans!

Hmmmmmmm

Cleaned Scooby inside and out ready for next weekend - let's hope the weather will be kind

We went to the Classic Car Hub near Bibury.  Only VW of any kind there today.

Watched the traffic

Spent several hours, cleaning inside and out, buffing and trying to remove tar splats picked up from a newly laid road in Somerset last week.

took a wheel off for the first time & put it back on again.
(checking that the rear brake drum retaining nut was not pressing on the inside of the alloy. It was fine)

Packing Scooby ready for the weekend - cannot weight

Fitted a new tube in the strip light over the cooking area

Absinthe packing.

Fitted the Litesteer brake corrector - easy 30 min task. Organising the packing of the van ready for our trip to Tenby.

PeteH when are you going to Tenby, this weekend majority of closed and surrounding areas for the Long Run ie marathons etc. Tim

We had spare tubes already!


Did not want those heavy LED lights anyway (oh sorry, wrong LEAD)

thanks for the reminder. We want to get LED lights to replace the Danbury tubes

Just a word of warning, I bought an LED strip light as a straight replacement for the tube, and then found that the orientation of the pins was such that the LEDs were directed at a 90 degree angle to what we needed. You can of course fit a completely new light fitting, but that is a bigger job.
