Milly my 1979 Westfalia Berlin Deluxe Vanilly my 1971 half a Beetle trailer

Last weekend I done the driving for my brother-in-laws wedding:-

 

Nice

 

I liked the piling in of the family so I did it again outside my mothers house:-

 

Could have put up some pics! come on!

 

Cheap way to lower your bus

Looks like a great day.

 

They do say a picture paints a thousand words so there are a few words there lol

 

All those kids don't come cheap lol, we all enjoyed to be fair.

 

in some of the pics your bus looks a few different shades of beige and in others it doesn`t ...sliding door for example ...is this just my monitor or has certain panels been painted at a different time ?

 

Good eyes on you, so you will like what you are about to see.

 

Well its been 2 years already since Milly was painted & there are a few marks etc I want to address:-

Scruffiness in my engine bay because of the LPG people






Mark inside tailgate


mark on back next to the tailgate


rust on tailgate

 

Tiny bit of rust on the seam of the sill



Step in the arch, there is only one step its not wavey like it looks as thats just black Dinytrol


Step in the rear arch sill join


Step in this arch


Rust bubble starting to appear


same the other side

 

Scruffiness on the trailer:-
Doors rubbing on the tunnel


stone chips


Edge finish and alignment


more marks and chips

 

The thing that annoys me the most though are the different shades, this is because the doors etch were painted off the van so were laying at a different angle, also there was some lacquer in the paint to give it a shine, this time the van will all be painted at the same time with no lacquer, this should make future touch ups much easier. As you know the rear arches were repaired and painted after the respray because they rusted from the inside out after it was all painted.
Last time it was 90% this time it will be 100%
So here goes:-

Its like De Ja Vue

 

Some of them scabs have come through quick.,bit like yourself .would need to get them fixed. Well done.

 

If I'd left them they would only get worse.
