The route for next year has been announced - bugger. We were expecting the same or similar with a nice trip along the warm Med coast.

Sorted the parts we’d acquired and got to work getting the orange chassis rolling. Due to IRS being better on the road than the Beetle swing axle rear end and more receptive to lowering we tackled converting the frame to IRS.

The orange frame had been converted to use the old style Beetle beam which is bloody hard/expensive to get parts for in the UK so with loads of ball joint beams lying around we converted it back to ball joint.

After a long day yesterday she’s rolling! We finished about 3:30am….

As we’re going for a pure on road version when finished we should be looking at something like this…

Though not as Bling! Bling! obviously!

After much deliberation and stumbling to think of a team name we’re happy we finally came up with, “Mental Block”, seemed apt given our inability to think of a name.
