A big week for Bert

Yesterday I woke up bright and early to strap the donor roof onto the top of Bert and make sure he was all ready to make the big trip to Maitland. This is where a VW restorer is going to cut off the old roof and replace it with the donor. 
The trip went exactly to plan even giving Hugh (the photographer) and myself time to check out a local cafe, which included nice coffee and also an old Renault that they had sitting out the back.    

Also thanks to Arlen, Cam, Jo and Ryan for helping get the roof on as it was a bit of an effort.

Off With The Top

It has finally come time to take the poptop out and through the process it revealed the true extent of the rust. 

See for yourself what crappy repair work and wrong installation of parts can cause. 

Cheers to Big Jim for helping me lift off the Poptop!
