Last pictures of Pauls Bay.

It was only the other day when i was putting on the Ace cafe entry i realised i had not put on the last pictures of the work i had done on The above mentioned Bay. So i believe looking back i had just completed the front valance. So just the sill to complete and a few cosmetic bits and its back to Paul.
These pics are tha last ones i took and the van went back to paul a few weeks back but better late than never.



Sill ready to go back in.



Tacked in place.



This was either Dave or Tim not Actually sure though.

Exhaust Repair.

Well as you probably know in my last post from the ace cafe on the way home i had a small problem with the old girl not running quite right. she had a couple of coughs and a fart and then a bang a realy big bang & unfortunatley my exhaust was not best happy about reiceveing the increased load of unspent mixture entering it's orofice and at the point of re-fire the exhaust did not find containing such copiace amounts of igniting mixture easy to control, And as such we ended with a hole in my box larger than a porn queen's ring piece after a gang bang.

So i took a look on Vw heritage to get a price for a new silencer, Man what the fuck is going on £107.00 for a box i bought mine two years ago and with the four branch i paid £149.00 for the pair, i understand prices go up but man i could have wept, any way so i thought its no good i may have to fix it and keep the one got, so thats what i did £107.00 kiss my Arse.

Any way i took afew pictures of the repair for the blog see below.

See the swelling thats a back fire & a half

hat do you recon to that then BOOM !

End removed i had to split the pressed seems

It even mullered the inside.

Another one of the inside.

Cleaned up and a knock about to straighten.

Ready to weld the thing back up.

Not  a bad job if i say so myself.

Tidy enought.

Back in place.

Jobs a Good One.

Ace cafe September 2011

Well people another month has flewn past with each month the Bus & bug become ever more Classic unfortunatley so do i, especially in the mornings god somedays i feel like shit & old & knackered think i may start sitting for the obligatory morning Squirt. Back to the Ace, Well i undertook my usual chore of putting a note on the lowlifes page just to remind the fellow enthusiast's that it was on & got a excellent responce and at one point we were on the verge of a magnificant seven vehicles but alas in the end we managed Five.

76 Bay nearly There.

Done some more over the last couple of days, New jacking point now installed on the drivers side of the van the outrigger had been repaired and the front valance is now been welded in place & the dash board is now completed. Just the sill and the hole in the battery tray to go and i can put my bay back in the workshop, engine needs to come out the wee oil leek is now developed to the point it looks like she's been sick. back to the 76 been in the work shop yesterday afternoon and today I'm getting to the point where i feel its been hear to long, i have to say the front valance has been a bastard as the front valance installed is for the earlier bays and the one we took off was home made and was a absolute shit to remove, And it was made of 10 gauge steel and the installer should be shot until death occurs using only blunt pencils as Ammo starting with the genitals. not that i believe in making people suffer but who ever you are you done it to me first.
