The latest arrival at the Roadhouse is this gorgeous 52 Beetle, it's just been shipped over from France where it's lived since new. It was owned by the same guy from 1952 until he finally sold it in 2002... It's now on it's 3rd owner(Steve) and will live in the UK. It has some amazing history with it, Original bill of sale, loads of receipts and even some really nice black and white photos from 1954 whilst on holiday up in the Swiss alps. I have the job of carrying out some mechanical overhauling and giving it a large dose of Ankor wax!

Thats better...

I gave the 67 Bay Westy a small tap with the lowering stick today... one corner down three to go...

Everybody loves old logo'd buses... well not everyone but i know i do! I just bought this 70 Deluxe Micro Bus which was used from new to ferry people to Disney World and back to the Citrus Valley Campground in Florida. Its been neglected for many years and is oozing character. Of course it'll be in for some special treatment when it arrives back here... i can't wait!

This is Steve Huckin's 63 Bug and its the first car in the UK to wear a set of the polished SpeedMaster Wheels... its also on a 4" Ridemaster (HoodRide) beam and CB dropped spindles. it was lower but unfortunately he had to raise the front slightly because it wouldn't go in and out of the garage. still looks truely awesome though i reckon!

I've just taken delivery of Polished and Mag Grey 15x5, 5/205 SpeedMaster Wheels, i have pre sold almost all of them but have one set of each left... time to reorder i think! the polished are even more awesome in the flesh than i imagined and the quality is fantastic as to be expected from the Japanese...

The Latest Arrival at the RoadHouse is this 25th Aug 67 Bay Westfalia, it's in 90% OG Pearl white paint and apart from some front panel rust issues is very dry indeed... unfortunately the Westfalia interior is missing but i am hunting for a replacement. This vehicle is not for sale, its a RoadHouse project... watch this space.

Ian Terry's jan 52 panel.... I owned this bus for around a year but never got the chance to make a start on it so i sold it on to someone i thought would see it through... This is how it looked when it turned up at Brighton Breeze a few weeks ago...

Another Steering box on the way up out of the way... this time on Jay's 58 Ex Swiss Army Bus.

At last... my workshop is getting insulated and plaster boarded, then its time for a quick coat of paint and the strip lights and we're ready for what ever weather the dark cold winter throws at us...

Meet Judson... my scary guard dog!

The Boatyard Bus returns...


For the raising of the steering box ceremony...

It's always nice to finish the week on high (or low) note... we just dropped Cheers 59 back on its wheels after fitting all the Air suspension. It's already pretty low but will go down even further once the fronts tubbed and the Engines fitted... Cheers is one happy man!
