I have been tinkering with the idea of designing an isert for my head lights.

Here is the mark one version.

This should give the apearence of the iron cross when the lights are on.

Just need to find myself some 12v globes to give it a test run

George, this thing gets better and better all the time.

Now that the festive season is drawing to a close and I have a little bit of time off before I go back to work I finaly got back to messing around with the engine tin ware and rear valance

Typically my Mig ran out of wire

with the type 4 1800 in there she is a tight squeeze but it is coming together

I should just about have this bowled over tomorrow after I get some more mig wire

here is a few pics, sorry about the quality but it was getting dark and my phone works crap with little light

Cheers GFresh

Wow, George, tidy work as usual.
Hope to see this bus in the flesh if I make it down to the VW Jamboree this coming March.

Ok time to get serious with the panel work to get this plough on the road

I'm starting with the left hand vent, then the roof, then I will move on to the rust, I will make and repair what I can by hand and replace some of the more complex pieces with gearson or the like especialy for the lower sections.

I cut out the vent leaving the top louver as I can get good access to it to straighten it up.

I will only need to stitch up one long cut when it goes back in, this will happen after the roof has been squared back up.
