I've been checking out the thread on ssvc, wow what a lot of work. but the main thing is you will know that its 100% sound mechanically.
i had similar problem with my beetle resto, it turned out worse that first thought and is now a full nut n bolt resto.

Looks very cool, very YOU... Bij the looks of the side of the van, looks like they have taken it for a big ride out, just to test everything is working... needs a bit of a clean though...
Hope to see it soon for real.

Got all my seals from Schofields. Can't fault them at all. My doors warped a little so mr 'stanley' had to help, but it's got to help the chill factor! Anyway, Sean came round today (Berpsta) and I decided to take the 'Foxon' back to stock height.... Yeh right!!!! NEED IT LOWER! but forgot about the rear..... Stupid little exhaust.... don't like it! So..... a few splines lower now and I think it looks well!!!! 8) 8) 8) Proper measurement before driving it, so may be 58 1/4"...... once it settled down. Then it was Sean's turn to hire it up, until he gets his steering box done! We jacked it up, undid the fixings and nothing happened! Shocks were at full stretch already! 8O so we put it back, and he set off again, scraping that box!!! Just got to take some proper pics now and then hire it back up! Hopefully my track rods aint bent!! :roll: Cheers for your help Sean....... Love this pic....
