It will be a privilege to meet Dolly. She reminds me of many happy camping adventures years ago. Such a treat to drive, especially easy to reverse!

Mrs T is already a dab hand at glossing woodwork with those little foam rollers so I reckon it won't be long before we can get her on to metalwork :-

If anyone is looking to swap their bay camper for a nicely modified Mk1 Mini (1275, discs, period accesories etc) let me know - it's time for a change!

Loving the work on the camper, really want one now

Ive search high and low for two weeks and found one that's been stood under a car cover for years but the owner wont sell her, he's quite happy to see it rot away!

with the lack of door's, glass and interior the suspension has raised up

you get a bad spray job finish (orange peal ) then once flatted back and re polished you get a finish most people don't believe is a roller paint job

my local VW restoration place saw it and told me if that is a roller paint job i'm going to throw away my spray gun
