Dave’s 13 window Patina

Dave bought this rather rusty but awesome looking Texan deluxe last year.

A bit of impulse buy but with paint like this how can you refuse right?

As the old girl arrived from the docks…

The odd rust issue and rats nest 😀

Work has finally started and the plan is to get her rolling for show season 2014

Watch this space.

Ben finally started last week sorting out the front lower nose repairs and replacing the cab floor.

Out with the old…..

and in with the new

The man at work himself. Young Benjamin. Ripped overalls and everything tut tut!!

DTA End of Season Meet

Its been a long long while since i’ve updated the blog and for that I must apologise. I have made a promise to myself to keep it more regularly updated. So with that in mind the next few updates may be slightly out of actual chronological order but updates are updates right 😀

Last Sunday saw the return of the annual DTA End of Season Meet.

As usual Si and the boys put on an awesome day, amazing line up of what I would consider some of the coolest buses, bugs and Ghia’s currently rolling the streets of the UK. Couple that with super friendly folk, cheap food, beverages and giveaways from lots of the top people in the VW world make this a gathering not to miss.

Here are a few snaps. A big special thanks to the very talented Danny from Bullymeister Photography for donating some of his pics for the blog. If you haven’t already show him some love here and click that “like” button www.facebook.com/bullymeisterphotography

Volksworld 2013

    What a contrast! last years Volksworld show we were wearing T-shirts and relaxing in sunshine. This years show proved to be somewhat different! It was cold! Very cold!

    We weren’t trading at this years show but Dave and his bus were part of the RSVP and DTA club line up outside!

    Here are a few pics from the weekend!
