Workshop update

The camper restoration project has been moving nicely toward completion and now has the top coats of paint on. What a stunning colour combination! You can see the progress of this job as a slideshow on our website at http://www.sterlingauto.co.uk/beetles.htm or the individual photo’s on our Photobucket site at http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f386/kalvin356/Bay%20window%20K%20reg/

We put the engine into the 450SLC Mercedes and surprisingly it fired up on the first turn of the key. A bit of the usual SL Merc’ fettling here and there, such as repaint the air filter box and sew a small patch onto the drivers seat bolster and the car is now so good that I’ve decided to keep it as my own daily driver. Check out the five star wheels.

We’ve got a high top bay window surf bus for MOT repairs, a quick tidy up of some minor rust spots and a respray. The van will be available on Ebay for sale at the end of the work.

One of the nicest 911’s (993) you will find is in for further enhancement. A few rather nasty stonechips let the rest of the immaculate bodywork down, so we are stripping and repainting the front bumper wings and bonnet.
