Had a great day on Sunday with a quick head count of well over 200 people coming through. Lots of cool cars and awesome people stopping by for a chat and a look. Fortunately rain held off until the end of proceedings and despite wetting a few people on the way home, wasn't too bad. Thanks again ever...

The family and I will be making the trip down, not in the Beetle though :( Can't have it all I guess, it is Easter Sunday and all, The boys and I are just pleased to be finally getting to see Das Resto Haus :D Great to hear you can make it....likewise for all the others punters making the trip.

Haha, Nugget tried to offer me one of those on the weekend but I was dubious. I didn't realise they had a more innocent meaning.

Will have to see what we can wrangle up

Getting close now - weather is not looking the best but it will be on regardless! Fortunately we have loads of undercover (in both the workshop and parts store) which everyone can mill about in if the heavens do open up.....all concrete at least so no chance of getting bogged ;) If the Brits can run...

Mark debuted his notchback at the Volksworld show in the UK this weekend - it arrived on UK soil on thursday straight off the boat so fortunately it wasn't damaged and not too dirty!

Sooooo....just to change the subject...who is making the trip down for our open day?

Free feed and drinks, cool cars, cool people....hopefully good weather!

I'm dying to see more of that!

The owner changed jobs and had to put the CB on hold for a while so its sitting in his garage in four pieces....also he is still waiting on his Mendeola gearbox Hopefully some time this year we'll be back into it.

Some pre-resto shots....if it wasn't for the fact the paint was delaminating everywhere, the owner would have been happy to have left it as is. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/Dasdubber/Warwicks%20Karmann%20Ghia/Dec27arrival1.jpg This was what was hiding under the paint.... http://i10.photobu...

Another milestone last week was to finally get the KG vert into primer after months and months of metal work and filler/block sanding. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/Dasdubber/Warwicks%20Karmann%20Ghia/Feb151_zps277766ec.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/Dasdubber/Warwicks%20Karmann...

Nate, any of you southern folk are welcome any time

Just so everyone knows, this does happen to fall on Easter Sunday - unfortunately we'll miss those people who head away for Easter which is a bugger, but for anyone who is sticking around home then we look forward to seeing! Easter eggs for everyone
