    Rspray and welding done by Brookside VW aircooled specialists in Birmingham, great guys good work at good prices, really enthusiastic about all things VW aircooled,

    Very nice indeed, lovely transformation, and nice to see another Moonraker on here. You'll be pleased to learn that the moonraker doubletop was voted king of poptops on here. Plus, yellow/jaffa voted king of colours... 8)
