VW 182

Cars on show at Bug Jam this year so thought i would make the effort

Been meaning to do it for a while now so finally pulled my finger out and did some wire house keeping on the weekend.

Also while I was there changed the fuel filter

Ever the Media Whore, my car was in the Big Bang VW Show Review in this months Volksworld!

Big thanks to the picture taken by Julian Hunt

Following on from my roof catch snapping. Had left my roof sat in the unlocked position, but has made me notice just how out of alignment it is!

Cant work out if its the frame that’s bent or what?

welcome any comments?

Went to put my roof down and looked what happened!

Broken Roof Catch

Not the kind of thing you can pick up in your local scrap yard!

Been pondering what to do on my floor for sometime, wanted to do carpet but reckon it would get trashed, so opted for Duck boards

Fronts all complete just need to screw the backs together now

We were asked to put on a display of trekkers, was a great weekend, met lots of people

Hopefully we will be asked back again next year and hopefully even more cars

Roll on the next show now!

That dreaded time again – MOT

Had an advisory last year on one of the front ball joints, so thought for the sake of it, change all four while I was doing one!

Took the shocks off to find they had seen better days so bought these today:

Also found that the shocks that were on there were stock height and since removing them the car had gone lower!

Bonus…

Also found the beam had no grease nipples so fitting those today also.

Then off for a ticket to see what other surprises are lurking

got some old resto shots form the guy who built my car

Got sent some more old show pics with my car on display
