A day filled with laughter at the Barn,

Ian opened up as I was at a meeting to save Nottingham Airfield from having houses built on it.
Steve had to have some welding on his Bug Pickup. The drivers sill was rotten.
Ian had done a lot of the prep work on his single cab and more importantly got the oil burner fired up.
Tim and Adam worked on the 68 Beetle. Adam had also very kindly rebuilt a carb for me.
Jon put a new lock on his trailer and then with Damon went off to look at a Tr**ny Van.
Mark has nearly finished prepping the temporary replacement engine for his Bay.
Pat continued on repairing the guttering on his T25.
Mel arrived with a fan that went on the oil burner. Many thanks.
There was lots of banter and laughter but what shone thru was the teamwork and friendship
Cheers Nige

Stuff at the Barn,

The ramp has been busy, Tim's nephew Marcus, used it to service his Golf and then Ian changed the oil in his Mondeo. Mel and I then changed the shocks on my Bay.
Pat and Jon enjoyed the donuts.
Jon used all his racing skills when we brought the Calibra back in. He just missed hitting Pats T25.
Damon and I had a road trip to see John. He has an amazing collection of VW's. Love the new headlights in his Splitty.
Mark fitted a moustache bar bracket to his spare engine. It's from Empi and it needed a lot of fettling in order to get it to fit.
Ian, Mel and I enjoyed a few games of pool.
Cheers Nige.

Dave's new toy, a 6.7ltr Bentley is beautiful. It smelt inside of luxury and money. Wouldn't like to pay for the fuel though!
Tim and Adam applied a coat of underseal on the Beetlefloorpan.
Mel, Damon and Mark all popped in for a brew and a chat.
Jon decided it was time to have tidy up of some of his spare parts emporium.
Pat continued welding the new gutters in on his T25.
Kev swapped the rear door locking mechanism on his Range Rover, what a complicated procedure.
Ian and I made sure the pool table wasn't feeling neglected and finished the day off with several games.
Cheers Nige

Stuff at the Barn,

It was operation remove the load bed from Ian's Single Cab. It was straight forward and made easy with the help of Pat, Damon and myself. The SC is getting a respray but it also allows Ian better access to the VR6 to give it a clean up.
Tim came in later and put a coat of paint on the floorpan and how pretty does it look?

Thank you to our beautiful models, Ian and Stephen. They look great in the new hoodies and prove you can be old and sexy.....🤣🥰

It was a great evening at the Barn and shows exactly what we are about. Teamwork and a desire to keep classics on the road.
Cheers Nige

Thursday at the Barn,

Mel turned up in his beautiful convertible Beetle. He has made some fantastic indicators that bolt on to the bumper. A modern upgrade tastefully done.
Ian and Pat were in next and they helped me finally fix the wiring on my 69 camper.
Jon called in late with 3 massive stickers for the side of his Nascar trailer.
Tim has primed and seam sealed the new floorpan on his Beetle.
The Rolls Royce owned Spitfire flew over us twice into East Midlands Airport
Cheers Nige
