Bug Jam
After parking it on my drive in January then breaking his leg badly skiing in February the task of restoring my brothers camper was left to me as the
wife wanted off the drive!
He's just pulled off to go to Bug Jam with it just finished. (Well sort of!)

Vey nice - I do love the old VW campers.
We go to Croyde in North Devon fairly often and the amount of old VWs there is amazing!

If you set off now Mr Whippy you could be there for Sunday! Mind you that sort of journey in a VeeDub could be interesting!

And at 80mph on the motorway (possibly optimistic) you may get some heat through the heater channels! Or is that 'certainly optimistic'!

Very cool...
And what does it stand him at (roughly) to get to that sort of condition?

80mph!! it won't do more than 65! I have about 15hp at the wheels...
my heater channels are all new and work a treat, most are all rusty and just heat the tarmac

It stands him at about £10800. I reckon another £2K would make it absolutely mint.
