It's OK, just lots of cosmetics to finish off... yours looks in better nic paint wise!

If you read the thread on my link you'll probably guess i've never been!

It's like Volksfest I believe, a lot of aircooled, pretty much only aircooled in it's early days but they have been encouraging water to come along and I now think that's its pretty much best of both.

fair enough man, love camper vans so it'll be cool to see some nice ones!

i've just been looking through some edition 38 pics, well tempted to buy a new black bonnet for mine as it has a dent in it, then stencil up my current one, reckon it'd look pretty sick for shows and stuff and could always change it back to standard if i went off it

too many ideas running through my head for it all atm, just trying to get main things done first then worry about other stuff afterwards, easier said than done though :rolleyes:

Yeah your mind can run wild, if you look at my project page you'll see I have 3 bonnets now... I have a fibreglass Audi quatro style to sort out and i'm currently making an original mint as I can... can't make my mind up which looks best so doing up both so I can swap them at will.
