Just a mention here for our guys at Dacre. Very friendly, with an ability to deliver. Some of our impossible deadlines have been met with with amazing zest. Like er.....' but we want to camp at Whitby Jes, cant you just do those back corners?' The guy has worked till the small hours on occasion cos he said that bit would be done ! check out; www.dubtricks.co.uk/ Bodywork, mechanical and a flare for the bizarre.

Steve, If your Bay is anything to go by then they will sure to get loads of business....they've done a LOVELY job ;D
I met Jez at Harewood House and he seems a real genuine fella with a real passion for VW's and his job - working till the early hours on Steve's van is testiment to that!
Jez gave me a load of flyers to hand out within the club but I forgot them on Sunday, so I'll bring them along to Bradford & Districts BBQ on the 17th and dish them out there.

Poor thing looks sad with the arch removed. Whilst doing this side jes cut out the rust in the jacking point outrigger aswell as some chicken wire and filler that some bloke had used probably to get an MOT. Also the seat under pannel was replaced and pannels fitted to the floor behind the seat and rear inner arch before he put the interior back in. This work was only part of the project to date. Latest work was our engine bay that I have sprayed with justins help. Also we have put the sparkling recon engine in with a monza 4 tip sticking out the back. Percy has twin carbs now and a bit more chrome on the engine.

Well its a bit different from Rabbit shows. Mind it's a lot flipping dearer. Er....its your fault we are broke! Keeps us in touch with my oily past. I was at the old fire station colledge , watching Mally Johnson (now has fishing shop Briggate,Knaresborough) putting engines on the dynamometer, just as our bay was rolling out the factory new. Sadly, forgotten some of the basics. All flooding back though. Old f+rts disease Chris says.. seen our kitchen table oops gonna get bashed now. Percy timing sorted. Did the static check again using the old pulley helped. The snapon plug tester not suitable though. Need Percy out of drive and Lotty in to tweek.

are these guys really that good? Just asking, as some idiot drove into the back of my bug last week and I'm going to need her fixing I've got an estimate from one restorer, but it's maybe a bit steep... could do with another. What's their prices like?

Hi Monique, Sorry to hear about your bug I have used Jez at Dubtricks on several occasions and he has always been friendly, knowledgable and fair about costs. I would highly recommend his services as one of the leading classic VW garages in the area. I have also heard that Herbie Hospital and Andy Hicks in York are both good, but I would personally recommend Dubtricks ;D Jez has a website at www.dubtricks.co.uk/What is the extent of the damage? Hope you sort it soon...

yeah, had a nosey at the website... can't get through on the phone at the mo. here's the damage:- Luckily as far as can be seen there's no engine damage... currently waiting for an accessor/engineer from the insurance company to ring me. Other party has admitted liability at least.
