Thanks Ben. Haven't been to the Half Moon for ages.

I'm thinking 'Pay as you go' would be good. :wink:

Tonz, I half thought about making the same comment, but thought it was a bit too lame. Good to know I'm not the only one with a penchant for Dad jokes :lol:

Don't feel too bad Josh...

You,re still a relative newcomer to the Dad world...
The accendicy to the Dads Joke Club only occurs after your offspring can understand what you are saying and old enough to know you make crap jokes out of insignificant comments...

Thanks Jase. You're a gentleman. Don't know what everyone else is talking about? :wink:


We did headliner and carpet in this one. It came with that seating and cards.
Had all the teeth to secure a headliner missing, so could only do a 'Standard' jobbie but it looks quite ok with the paint showing.
That headliner is still creased from shipping in those pics. Looks right now. Had the retaining lip removed at the rear where the headliner tucks in, so had to improvise. Berg Shifter a total shit to put back together without instructions.
Doing Suitcase Speaker Systems too. Kick arse in the back of a beetle ... or Bus.
Mustang dash. Outa space!!

Some stuff we've done lately.

Tony 'Headstone''s Panel got some last minute love before Valla. He did some aluminium door and roof panels which you've gotta see and we re-trimmed his front seat with a new coconut fibre pad in the seat base.

This 63 is one of nicest restos we've seen. The attention to detail is amazing.
Brian at Classic & Unique modified the Bay middle seat to take the genuine grab rails.

Greg 'Splitrat' Jones' 64 11 Window with reconstituted leather seat covers and cards. Material is made up from leather that's been chopped, diced and stuck back together. Great stuff. Leather at 1/3 the price.
Beetle colours in a Split look like they're meant to be there. Good choice Jonesy.

Cheers Gents.

Tempted by this thing. If you're gonna have a Bay, an early Lowlight Panel is a definite starter.
Owner did all the paint and panel himself, had mechanicals done and electrics next week by Peter Meyer.
Will be for sale once he gets the next one on the road.
Always nice putting an interior into something already tidy.

Careful... Signage is the new roofrack... Little bit over done...

Must be good, well executed, and have a purpose I reckon...

Course a big red splitty with bus n bug written onit would be cool and VERY practical...!
