VW 182

Was planning on fitting these to the trekker but just don’t have the time to sort them all out, what you see is what you get.

Petrol heater parts,there is nearly enough to make 2 kits from plus spares, I even have the wiring diagram I downloaded.

£80 – Buyer collects

well its been far to long since I updated the blog

winter is nearly here so will get on with a load of new jobs now the car will be off the road till next year now….

The last job I did was to fit a rear 3 point belt in the back of the trekker so I can take my daughter out with me, heres a load of photos to show how I did it

I bought some seat belt plates off ebay that have the seat belt nut welded to a spreader plate, I fixed one under the wing and bolted through to mount the reel.

The next bit was fun!!!

I took the rear roof off as I was using a cutting tool to cut a flap in the box section so I could fold the metal down, slide a spreader plate in and then fold the flap back, I didnt bother welding back up as I thought you never see it and if I needed to paint it wasnt worth the hassel. Then bolted the top of the belt through onto that plate and it was pretty much sorted. I then fitted the clasp to the normal lapbelt hole and we were done, fairly easy job and very strong. Not been for a mot yet but dont think it will be an issue.

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
