NEW WORKSHOP - ADDRESS AND PICTURES

WITH EFFECT FROM 11 APRIL 2011 50-67 WILL BE OPERATING FROM THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: 50-67 UNIT 19, DUCHY BUSINESS PARK, WILSON WAY, REDRUTH, TR15 3SD. Below are a few photos from when we took the unit a week or so ago. We've been working away on it since to make life more comfortable for us when we move. It's a big old place within a very secure compound with 24hr CCTV and a huge fence. We have an external office so customers are not exposed to the hazards within the workshop

The parking and storage area is huge.

The unit is well lit - we have already built booths at the far end of it. This picture shows 2 spans - the building is 4 spans long.

more updates soon

Onwards and Upwards

Last week I mentioned we had some important news.................well here it is................

50-67 is relocating to a new workshop in the mid-Cornwall area. I'll publish details of the new location very shortly.

The new unit will provide us with better access, better security, a better working environment and a great deal more parking.

We will be leaving Chacewater on 11 April 2011.

Keep checking back and I will keep you updated

15th March 2011

Another quick update for you. please keep coming back as we have some important news to tell you in the next week.................I'll let you ponder on that!!!!

It's all going on at a pace here and the team are doing well to keep on top of all the work

The '56 is finally starting to look like a bus as the boys bolt on everything they can.
This lovely Ghia is in for some attention to getting it running right

Shannon is working his magic................there's nothing much he can't fix.

Been a long time since I mentioned the GUL bus. Well, after a short delay, it's all go. Matt has got most of the shaping done but we were still left with an interior full of crappy and crusty yellow paint. Poor picture below but you can see the yellow...............

....so it's rolled out into the compound

and we got a spaceman to blast the XXXX out of it

back inside and time for paint

................looking much better. This one is off to the booth for top coats next week.

.........and with all the work done we head home!

more soon

11th March 2011

Going on at 110% here and loving every minute of it. Just a short one today but can I mention our facebook page >>>>> button over there somewhere. Please have a look and press the like button...........it makes us feel better!!!!

First bit of news is that Adam is now the owner of this fantastic split. This was the first bus I built and means a lot to me
........next...................remember this?

things were going well and now it's all done and back on the road. Matt painted the inside of the new front panel.

it was then welded into place

a quick temporary coat of orange and it's good to go. The bus will be back in for a full repaint shortly.Gary's bus is now painted and looking amazing. We are always learning and trying to better our results.............I must say the boys have done a superb job on this one.

meanwhile we've been cracking on with the routine stuff. Several MOTs sorted out and more and more cars and buses on the road for the summer.

We'll keep up the good work. Thanks for all your support.

Don't forget to check the random daily picture on facebook ;-)

Still got a full house here with plenty going on. Shannon is hitting the '56 hard, Jason is sorting out Jason's (Pitt) rear corner and Jason2 is monstering the black bay. Meanwhile Jem is sorting Stuarts Bay and Matt is finishing Phils T25................still with me?

Pic below shows the '56 in red and white. Engine is now fitted and the brakes have all been replaced. Next job is to fit the doors and then pass it over to Colin to get the seats sorted.

..............ghostly safaris in the '56

Phils bus now ready for wheels and tyres . Doors will be built up early next week.

Stuarts bus is halfway through it's facelift and all is going well

.............see..............it's going well!

measure, measure and measure again. it should just slot together then.

deadly accurate and fits perfectly. We're good at this!

Gary's bus nearly ready for top coats

.....what else?. Well Simeons 13 has been blasted and will be getting ready for paint. Terry's bus is getting some overtime and we are working evenings and weekends and a bit more to get it ready for primer. There's more but I'll put up some pictures soon.
