After 6 weeks, loads of arguments and a few friends falling out, I think it's bloody good!

Can't wait until she's moving on, get the interior in and the gearbox & engine in and then work on the brakes, etc! Then a good polish and I hope to take her to George show!!!!!

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Dutch_Diver wrote:So great news to be had.....Bobbie is back! I know yet another name change but Mrs D :flash: decided that she didn't like Rosie and it was obviously a bad name due to the bad luck so agreement to re-christen her!

Welcome "Bobbie", long my this name last.

Anyway, back to the story......she's back from the painters and looks stunning. Reconstruction has really started too. The upholster was in yesterday and today fitting the roof lining so that Jurgen can fit the glass asap. Then we can work on all the interior without worry of it getting damaged.

It was great for Bobbie to get a welcome and a few forum members made the trek from all sides of the country! Thank you all very much and it was great to meet up again!

Great to meet even more forum members, seems my ACVW family is getting biGGer, Jurgen has a great shop, nice one guys !!!!!

And a few more visitors for Coffee and Bekkee

And then Bobbie....with the roof lining being fitted as I post!

Well there you have it :D

It was great meeting all of you and thanks to Chris for showing me how to upload pics :lol: BAB, it is a pleasure to let you raid my fridge - you are both welcome anytime :wink:

Franky-boy, if you mail me a slightly clearer version of that translation that you need - Juergen has already looked at it, but can't read all of it!!!! Getting OLD is such a DRAG :twisted: We will gladly translate it for you :flash:
