I do that Rob...how's pige going? We'll have to get our girls together some time so they can meet....either the next Nat's or Valla if Bel can make it that far next year??
Ohh she's OK I just put a new set of King and link pins in her, and new set of rear torsion bar rubber bush's. She also really like's the new rear venitian, genuine VW headlight mesh stone gards and I picked up a new german ATE master cylinder for her and a set of new wheel cylinders! thats the brake's sorted. I also have found a complete set of NOS 36hp bigend and main bearings, NOS oil pump, fuel pump rebuild kit, and various other Oval stuff! So once I get the new piston cylinder's and the heads done for ULP I should be able to have that spare motor sitting on the bench rebuilt for when the one thats in her now decides to call it quits, that way old Pige should last me out.

wow..........just read this thread beggining to end...........what can i say....
great story, great pictures, fantastic car and restoration .......good on you jen!
Thanks Phil.......I can be an open book once I start....and it's so amazing now to look back at what Bel used to be...I love doing it though, it's her albumn
My Bel finally has a nice shed to live in...got her home yesterday after having her in storage since December
Here she is getting a charge up cos her poor old battery was as flat as a tack
Her brothers like their new home too😎

Shed looks good Jen. Nice place to keep your pair👍 Oops triples.
Thanks Dean...AND I have plenty of fluoro light so we can see of a night...I can remember you coming around after work to help me with Bel a couple of times and trying to hold a portable fluoro up so you could see what you were doing, and that wasn't all that effective
:bounceHopefully the guy comes around this week to program the automatic roller doors
Eddies Commodore Vacationer is too long to fit behind Bel or the Trakka...I made it 10 mts long after the council giveing me grief over the size of the shed...it was going to be 11 mts
Looks like we get him a nice used Golf😏
Here's the shed in full...10mts x 10.5 mts
