Ah a Jas lwb you say that would be me mm289
first time I've been down to beachbuggin well worth the wet drive down all was good until we hit the m27 then it got darker and darker and wetter once we hit Portsmouth and could see the spinnaker ( how ever it's spelt) the thing was lit up with a beam of light, the rest of the day was hot and sunny.  Good to put a few more faces to names off her.  Will defo be going again next year

Cool, I was chatting to you about the exhaust and stuff whilst you were cleaning it

Names Paul btw 

Cheers,

[Slow progress...]

Here's few of my pics from today...






Love this roof!!!


Rusty razor (ouch!) caught my eye




Lulubelle was my favourite thing at the whole show 

Good to bump into Tony and Chris and show my face, hope everyone had a good time 

Well I like it  and not just because it is rusty!

And it's not even rusty it's paint believe it or not

And it's not even rusty it's paint believe it or not

I thought it might be 

Why you would do that to a type34 I don't know.

My son's favourite was a metallic lime green T5 which had been chopped and turned into a crewcab with a lovely wood lined bed.

I think this is the one you mean Paul I loved it too


And that metalflake bug was superb too a well deserved winner amateur built too, my son was in love with it

Yep, thats the one Kenny, very clever idea but actaully not that difficult to do I would think with a bit of metal bending.

Cheers,

Paul.

I was trying to work out what bits of which T5 they had used

Looking at the van in the back ground it's  been cut off at window hieght and the rear door hinge lowered.

Saw this at the heritage meet the other month, been done to a high standard  crazy thing to do to an expensive van unless it was a mess to start of with.

Yes but too much work in the crew cab doors i reckon so it must've been a crew cab flat bed/tipper body with a cut down panel van back end grafted on, best cut n shut I've seen in years... Apart from swb buggies that is

Now you said that I guess a tipper truck modified would be the easier route to go ?
Will ask the owner on Thursday if it turns up again.

Be good to know
Picture of the engine in that sweet flake bug

Wasn't someone on here making enquiries after this buggy a couple of months back?

Mel won best buggy.
