Hi Everyone, I have finally taken the plunge (10 years of persuasion) and purchased my first VW! a RHD 1978 twin slider. Currently immersed in 'how to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive'! would love to hear recommendations for garages in South East Wales? hope this post goes to the correct forum, I'm new to the whole 'forum' concept too! all advice welcomed....
Hello & Welcome from The Colonial Contingent Better get some photos up for the nosy ones around here.
Hi from Bolton... no idea about garages in Wales, but if your reading John Muir's guide, you'll soon realize that these buses are pretty simple....much like their owners The forum's a great place for all kinds of stuff: spleen-venting, heated debates, slanging matches, personal digs, thinly veiled insults and virtual vendettas....it's quite good for bus-related info as well.....you'll soon get the hang of it....good luck with your new moneypit acquisition
A warm welcome from Suffolk. Only been on here since taking the plunge, like you, when we bought Tigger six weeks ago, but learning a lot from the Forum and great welcome from the families we've met at the couple of get-togethers we've been to.
Good evening from Cheshire, hope you're not thinking of cutting a hole in that roof, I'm guessing not as you've painted it? Welcome aboard.
not sure what to do as yet. learning about aircooled engine and the 'tlc' required before the cosmetics. may have to lower him/her too, so can keep garage....weather not too kind here in Wales.
If you lower it then put a pop top on it it'll end up the same height or taller, does it not fit in that lovely looking garage in the background?
Hi and welcome to the site from sunny Southend on Sea. there is a lot of help on here from members. In last months Camper and bus was a big feature of a garage in Swansea called FBI Volkswagen Services, tel. 01792 585544, www.fbivw.com have not used them but the article gave the impression they are good, hope this helps.
Welcome to TLB. Two buses, how posh are you? Personally I'd get rid of the tatty grey one and concentrate on the nice shiny white one.
