doing the things that we want to

good and bad…

,

spent the morning removing the rock n roll bed i put in last week and keying the frame ready to spray in blauweiss to match the interior. recovered the back of the seat back board so that when the bed is in seat position you dont see white formica through the back window..

got it all back in and it looks ok.

i also fitted the new ~TMI long side interior panel i got form the states via karmann konnection. i had to butcher part of the old panel to make up the opposite side and a portion of the TMI interior kit that either didn’t arrive or i’ve mislayed in the house somewhere…

somewhat disapointed…

the tmi panel is the right size and shape, even has the holes from the chrome trimin the right place BUT the vinyl & meshcloth is in the wrong place… doesn’t line up with the trim… and the glue used to put it on looks like pritt stick paper glue… it’s useless!

so after paying aqll that money and waiting all that time i still end up taking it all apart and doing it myself… story of my life.

at least i got it finished and tidied up before the rain.

i ven got the garden swept and tidied up the rainfilled buckets of EP90 gearbox oil that have been sitting around waiting for disposal since the last oil change…

found two toads swimming about in the EP90. if you’ve ever used or smelled this stuff you know how noxious it is… either the toads round here are crackhead toads and subsequently psychotic mean mothers or they got in there just as i removed the cover…

your guess is as good as mine…

just got some mail from someone who asked for stickers…

so big smile of the day is thanks to topfuelthomas!

“Hi

I recived some stickers the other week and so far ive stickered: my bike, the chevrons that tell stupid people theres a corner in the road on the irchester – wollaston road and the “ngton” part of “Podington” on the sign just out of hookams parth in wollaston. Some of those must be worthy of the leader board surely.

Still more to come tho,
TFTom

P.S. respect to whoever stickered the “old people crossing” sign just out of the pod gates near hinwick hall. made me chuckle. ”
