    Restoration recommendations ?

    Hi, thanks for the responses, I have had a pm also with some names, and I do appreciate what you're saying. I know about Beetlelink, and in getting parts in the past I know they are helpful, but I don't know what their welding is like. Cheers, Tony.

    How on earth ...... ?

    .............do I edit the title of my For sale thread ? Have done a search, no results, tried editing it, but it only changes the words in the post, not the title. Also checked the forum help, but nothing in there either.

    Crossmember replacement

    Thanks for the reply, perhaps I'll do that, though I'm worried if I can get the tubes suitably cleaned up in situ. I want to eradicate all the rust. The wiring tube has part disappeared, I'll definitely be replacing that one altogether !

    Crossmember replacement

    Ok, this is a 'bump' and an update. Heater tube is cut out, and today I have been looking at the gearshift lever. The situation is still the same, in that I do have to move the van from time to time. I have looked at the shift tube and come to the conclusion that : 1 : Yes I can leave the van in...

    R & R bed wood & hinges £45

    Hi all, I have a R&R bed that I bought second-hand a number of years ago for the van. IT's made from ply, and was originally meant for a splittie so we were told.
