Been working on my trailer, and i found out i've got as much rust on it than the abbandoned cars in the woods. Well cant complain about the putty either. The previous owner must have had some shares in an putty factory. But the trailer is now almost ready for some welding. So i'll keep you posted

Some guys of the KCM went to Belgium to explore a car graveyard.

We found about the excistence of the yard by the internet. The story goes the cars were abbandoned by American soldiers who went home after rebuilding Belgium when the war was ended.

The cars lie-ing there have there own story.................

Just got back from Spa Francorchamps. What a great show is was. One of the highlights for me was driving around the track. Got goosebumps by 30C..................What a thrill

The weather was great, except for the rain @ sunday. Next pic shows how my beetle does not like that at all.

You can see the sadness in his eyes.
Luckely i took many pics with bright sunshine.
So more to come.

2009-07-20T21:19:00.006+02:00

reccently i scored some new/ old talelights. Today i mounted them.

My son lent me a hand, and a drilling machine.

After a while and some coffe and sigarettes it looked like this

Buttttttttt when i took of the other side i discovered the previous owner did not take the effort to paint properly. When he/she replaced the rearfender he painted it with the lights still on.

Pitty for me.......Now it looks really shebby and cheap.

Up next will be a bit of paint here and there.

To be continued
