Feature Bus
A little while back we had this cool bay in for some suspension work and we dropped it a few inches all round. The bus is on the front cover of the latest VW Camper and Commercial magazine and has a good write-up inside. We'd like to thank Jonny for giving 50-67 a mention.

50-67 21 October 2010
Still very busy here so sorry for the lack of updates.
Plenty of servicing and general work going on. This bay was in for brake work
and this bay was in for servicing 
The '69 now has a motor, rock'n'roll bed, electric hookup and other electrical work
we are now in the process of removing the front drums and upgrading to discs
The GUL bus is going well. Most of the welding is done and we are now in the process of removing paint.
a combination of paint stripper and gentle media blasting is doing the job
The refit of Phils syncro continues and we are well into sorting out the interior
The late bay with the torn-off roof has had a lot of metalwork and the roof is back on and ready to use.
This late split is in for the whole works over the winter
Our polo is looking a bit sad so it's also getting some love over the winter.
and finally, Helens bus is getting fitted up with safari windows, deluxe trim, rims and a cool interior
that's it for now - stand by for updates on Nick's 23 in the next day or so.

50-67 22 September 2010
Still surprisingly busy here at the moment.
Steve's bus came in for rear corners but ended up having half of the rear chassis replaced.
Mike and Liz's bus had a service, MOT and a good tune up. This bus went to North Africa last year without a hitch - great bus!
The Gul bus is doing well - we have now replaced most of the rot in the roof
Matt's '69 now has new owners and we are in the process of getting it back on the road.
Andy's Porsche came in for new rear brakes
Mark's Ghia came in with a few random noises - unfortunately his big motor had developed a fault.
Ben was very patient
we fitted a temporary motor to get Mark back on the road
This smart '71 came in for a service and a few odd jobs
Plenty of work going on in the background as well - more updates soon

A busy week last week - here's just a few of the visitors........
This bug was in for an MOT, tune up and door and window rubbers
This hot 15 window arrived on an RAC truck. We replaced a destroyed fan, gave the motor a good service, sorted the throttle linkage and tuned the carbs. Result..........one happy customer with a very fast bus!
our old '68 westy is back after a couple of years in storage. Fresh brakes and a few niggles sorted and ready for MOT
This late bay will not be a quick fix - a gust of wind has torn the roof off the bus - we are waiting for the insurance guys to give the go ahead
.........the routine stuff goes on and we are now making a last push to get Ross and Brenda's bus ready for paint. Photo below shows Sam welding up the bench seat ready for Colin to trim
..........it's been here a while now and it will be good to see the bus in paint soon.
.............and here's this weeks work. Buses 5-deep in 2 rows outside the workshop! Bring it on!
